Summer of Rubble

We are still on tenterhooks waiting to see if our Visas will be approved...but in the meantime we are trying to work thru the financial rubble of the last few weeks and get back to normal with work and study. If our situation was a construction project, we would be in the demolition stage.

Summer has blown right past spring and this week the projected highs will be near 100 degrees. The last few days have been balcony-weather, the locals are out late, eating, smoking and chatting over glasses of tea, all of which has prompted me to move my office back out to the balcony for the season. The shoes and winter wear have been packed away and we are back in the routine of taking our late night strolls.
When we first hit town two years ago Stanley and Elle loved sitting on the terrace of the little cafe down the street. As the weather changed the last few weeks they have been anxious to spend some evenings on the cafe's terrace playing games with the owner, Fikret. We will keep you up to date as the Visa news trickles in...
