A Brief Update in Simplest Form

Since our last blog post one or both of us have
  • eaten liver
  • rejected a brand new watch offered as penance from a student
  • reluctantly accepted a humongous bouquet of flowers from the same student
  • watched Taken: Istanbul at the movie theater and discovered Turkish movie theater's have 15 minute intermissions, even if it interrupts one of the most intense scenes of the movie
  • gotten sick 
  • recovered
  • almost gone to a soccer match between two local, rival teams
  • played ultimate frisbee
  • played soccer
  • grown more accustomed to teaching
  • kicked 2 high school girls out of class in the first 10 minutes
  • Played cards with some new friends
  • Skyped with several of our favorite people
  • Made friends with the lady that works behind the nut counter at our grocery store- She even learned a little English to ask ''How are you?''
  • Gone to a symphony concert featuring the music of Beethoven, Wagner, and Liszt
  • Eaten at Waffle House - a place that serves waffles exclusively as dessert with lots of sugary toppings
  • agreed to go backpacking in the Toros Mountains for a few days and then go to Antioch for the rest of our Fall Break

Our neighborhood mosque - which often wakes us up around 5:30am with the call to prayer
