Relaxing Day and Moving Day

Good Morning,

Maria decided she wanted to stay in today and we need to get ready to move anyway, so we're sitting around the house being lazy. We had a late breakfast then sat on the balcony drinking our tea and watching the seagull feathers swirling in the breeze. Next, we put together Maria's Sponge Bob puzzle and listened to music.


This afternoon I'm going to attempt to pack all our stuff back into the two tiny suitcases we brought with us. We still haven't settled on a place, but I'm going to ask a classmate who offered a room a couple weeks ago. Either way, we have to move out of here by noon tomorrow. Wish us luck!

.....................

Today is moving day. I packed most everything yesterday, but still had to wash the sheets and towels before we can leave, and it's taking a while. We'll be moving farther up the hill from where we are now, but still on the metro line at least.

I'm supposed to go sightseeing in Eyyup with a friend today but not sure how that's going to work with moving and buying beds for my unfurnished room. We'll see. Fortunately Turks aren't as picky about time as Americans are.

Maria is being forced to eat all the leftover ice cream for breakfast so it doesn't melt when we move. Meanwhile, I'm eating leftover soup for the fifth meal in a row. Anyway, I'm not terribly hungry this morning. Something didn't agree with me last night and I'm still recovering.

There has been a truck driving around the neighborhood these past few days playing a creepy little tune on a loudspeaker. They are selling gas, but it sounds like one of those horror movies where the antique dolls come to life and eat people.

I hope you all are well. Thank you for reading...
