The night before I left for the US I met Ozler, her husband Ege, and their adorable baby Batu. This is a picture of us on Bagdat Cad. It was so nice to meet people who know New Haven and Foote all the way in Istanbul!
Tonight I am flying back to Turkey after a lovely break in the US, which was spent mostly eating and shopping, and of course catching up with friends and family. 🙂
n.b. the Turkish government has blocked wordpress.com so I don’t know for sure when I will be able to update again (last time they blocked a major website, youtube.com, it was only for about a day). Just a little warning that it might be awhile! Right now, users in Turkey are getting the following message when they try to access wordpress,
“”Access to this site has been suspended in accordance with decision no: 2007/195 of T.C. Fatih 2.Civil Court of First Instance.”
Patience is a virtue, right? This too shall pass, but there is something to be said for the first amendment. Anyway, off I go back to the land of endless cups of tea, durums, Efes, and baklava. Görüsürüz, Amerika!
Love, K.
