Turkiye...

I'm here.

- first night when I arrived I was taken immediately to the bowling alley and saw all my old friends and counselors and met a bunch of new ones
-second day we went to the Istanbul Modern (art museum) to prepare for the fieldtrip for the kids and then had lunch at Tophane, an area next to the museum where you can chill out, smoke nargile, drink tea and eat kumpir(baked potatos with absolutely any sort of filling)!!! That night we went up to Golden Beach on the Bosphorous where we discussed future trips and then had a delicious dinner overlooking the water.
-Third day was a lot of preparation for camp activities and then in the evening had parent orientation. Luckily that ended early enough so we could head out to Arnavutkoy (the neighborhood at the bottom of the hill, outside of campus, next to the Bosphorous) and get a snack and relax and socialize with some old and new friends.
-Today is more hard work and more preparation for decorating our rooms and planning activities for the campers. Luckily we were allowed to sleep in a little bit for a break. And tonight after work is the Boat Trip, my favorite part! I'll try to take lots of pictures of the beautiful Bosphorous at sunset:)...
