update from Mandy
Hello, again!
It is amazing to see how quickly the weather changes here! One minute it will be cool and then the next minute you're hit with a blast of heat and humidity. Today's weather, however, was gorgeous! The high was about 67 degrees and there was a cool breeze all day long. It was a nice break from the heat and humidity.
Anyways, this morning, Sam, Alyssa, and I went to Bogazici (Bosporus) University to see if we could make any more contacts. Now, for those who know me, you know that I do not have the best sense of direction; so, in our wanderings, we got a little lost, but we ended up finding the Early Childhood Education Center that is on the campus. We were able to take a brief tour of their facilities and to learn more about the educational systems of Turkey. It was extremely fascinating!
Another note about food: Last night and tonight, some of us needed a break from the traditional doners (a giant rotisserie stick with a whole bunch of meat [usually chicken and beef] stuck on it - very, very common) and decided to make an American meal that is near and dear to all of our hearts: Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches! Never have I ever tasted a sandwich so delicious - yes, I know, I'm weird. The food here is extremely delicious, but sometimes, you just need a break - well, from everything except the ice cream which is definitely still a necessity.
Hope you all are doing well. Love and miss you all - well, those of you that I know, I mean.
