A Week In'

Our Insect Expert At Work


Today marks the end of our first week in Istanbul! We are surprised at how quickly we have felt "at home" here. We realize that there will be quite an adjustment ahead...but our first 7 days have gone well.
Today we ordered 10 gallons of drinking water on the phone (in Turkish)...I know that is not impressive, but when it arrived an hour later via motorbike...we felt pretty "Turkish".
The rest of our day entailed a visit to my friend Levant, Turkish Coffee at the corner Kebap house, grocery shopping and a few hours with language study.

Congrats on your first week! Has your e-mail issue been resolved? We're crazy busy this week with all the meetings down here, but it's been good so far. No exciting news yet, and no word from M & L, either...we'll keep you posted.

We love seeing your pictures. Put more up soon :-)

Hi Stanley,
I'm glad you are finding things to do. What in the world is that thing? I ain't never seen a captipiler that long. Ruth don't like my english. But you know what I mean. Love seeing your picture.
Love You,
"Your Uncle" John
