Slow News Day

The May Day protests looked a lot like the ones at home. With a few exceptions they were peaceful with just a few hundred arrests. With hundreds of thousands attending that is a pretty low number.
No major violence was reported and those arrested were for the most part engaged in passive resistance. Reminded me of my San Diego State Univ. days.
We now have two different apartments that we are looking at: one is just down the block and the other is a few miles toward the heart of the City. It will probably be next week before we get a chance to take a hard look. We are still wanting to find a place closer to the heart of Kadikoy.
Today was slow...we worked on language studies, attended class and studied some more.
