The last few days...

The last few days have been fast and furious! Friday seemed kind of
disappointing as I had not really been able too meet anyone who spoke
English all day. Apart from getting some funny pictures, Mike and I
both felt the day had been disappointing. However, between the time we
started home and the time we actually reached our bed, we made three
new friends who spoke English. Two of which we learned a lot from.
They were able to share with us about life in Turkey for people our
age, as well as set up times to meet again!

Saturday we went on a little group outing for the day. We saw some
pretty awesome sites, but my allergies were terrible. It made the day
pretty hard to enjoy, so I was pretty withdrawn all day. I was able to
get some great shots though that I've enjoyed looking back through. I
also got some pretty sweet team shots.

Today we started English lessons with Gul (pronounced kind of like Gu-
el), which means rose. She is awesome, and, most importantly, patient!
Then this afternoon I went to one of my Turkish friends and practiced
with him. It was a good time. Tonight I also got to go with Randa,
Abigail, and Mike to then English school. That was an awesome time of
interaction with other students. I can't wait to see the group again!
