Alright…I think I’m officially fed up. Turkey has the WORST sidewalks I have ever seen. To be honest, I don’t usually notice the beauty or even practicality of sidewalks around the world, but when they are this bad, its hard to go unnoticed. Now I need you to do some math. You all know me well and know I’m not the most poised lady in the world. Please add the fact that the sidewalks are horrible, my incredible ability to trip over a dust particle, and the reality that I cannot blend in here, no matter how hard I try (not too many girls with blonde hair and blue eyes running around Turkey! Who would’ve guessed). If your answer was EMBARASSMENT, then you are correct! I tripped 3 times…count them, 3 times on my way to the grocery store yesterday. Usually I just laugh it off, but yesterday it was just frustrating.

But anyways, I had a wonderful evening baking cookies and then having drinks with my neighbors. I was once again amazed by how many wonderful people I’m surrounded by and how lucky I truly am to be here!
