Pardon Our Dust...We're Moving!!

We apologize that we've not written as of late, our access to the internet has been a bit more constricted. On top of that we've been busy, surprise, surprise! Some days we're functioning in Turkish mode (more relaxed, take it as it comes) and some days in American mode (have a plan and run with it). The past few days have been a mixture of both, wow!

Yesterday we made the move to our new residence (With a Turkish Family; July, weeks 1&2). Upon moving our suitcase I returned to the cafe to bring Rachel along - it was kind of an American day for her! So, we decided to be a bit American: grab flowers, a couple pizzas, and call before we came. Well, all should have worked to plan except that I got us lost...yes, lost. We took the wrong mini-bus and ended up on the edge of town. After a cell-phone call and a taxi ride we arrived with some cold pizza and mildly wilted flowers, but it was a fun evening with this couple. (We'll write more about them later)

This was a very Turkish morning though: wake up whenever, have breakfast whenever, clean up at leisure, think of something that needs doing and do it! So, we helped unpack boxes, build a wardrobe, and enjoyed the experience. We'll get you another update soon but for now we're going Turkish :-) (Prayers appreciated!)
