Diet Turkey

Here are just a few selections from the 8 gazillion pics from Turkey. If you want to see the rest, come over and have tea with me and I'll tell you stories.






Jon, Dave and I enjoying the sunset.















The Aya Sofia, a beautiful mosque that was originally a church. There is an interesting mix of Christian and Muslim artwork inside.














Having tea with the students at a local Tea Garden. Seriously, come over and drink tea with me!














My second host fam. Gulsen (second from the left) was one of my students. I miss you!















Christy shopping at Elma, our local grocery store. Those peaches will CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!















The last day of class! Clearly, we took the teaching seriously. Super serious.

From the left: Kevin-shish, Gulsah, Gulsen, Ali, Muhammed, Yesim, me, Semiha.

Also, it's a good thing Ataturk got in the pic (framed photo to the left of Kevin).

It was great to see you and catch up after your trip. Sorry for the late comment, I'm catching up on all my missed blogs from this summer. The man says hi. Actually, he says, "SCREEEEEEE!!!" But I'm pretty sure that means hi.

Ack! I left my delicious turkish tea at AJ and Rachelle's! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, they'll drink it, but man. Where's my non-coffee caffeine fix? I did drink at least 4 cups that first week, and man. They were some good sugar/caffeine highs.
