Avyalik Turkey lies just a four kilometer ferry ride away from Mytilene. The market offers up every color in the rainbow and the people offer up smiles. As we crossed between, I marveled at how easily I could straddle the line between east and west. I could skip back and forth at will, yet another is in the forest, waiting for a boat on the Turkish coast, willing to risk her life for a future.
Why can I cross and she cannot?
