life again...

wow, crazy to realize I'm going to be here for two more years. I'm not used to being somewhere for more than 6-9 months. I have a feeling though that Istanbul and I are going to have a great time...

yesterday I went with some friends to go see the first mosque designed by a woman. The mosque is located on the Asian side near the neighborhood of Uskedar and was extremely beautiful inside. Then in the evening a large group of us went up to the home of one of our Junior Counselors. Gorgeous house complete with a pool and backyard couches and the food was delicious and filling. All in all a pretty nice day. I haven't decided what I will do today except that I still need to see the new Harry Potter!!! But right now I should probably find myself some breakfast...
