Hello from Istanbul!
Hi Friends!
I'm just putting up a quick hello as I type in my friends' apartment here in Istanbul, Turkey. I arrived last night (I should note there's a 10 hour difference between L.A. time and the time here), and am enjoying catching up with my friends.
Today I got to see part of the city, try some delicious Turkish food, and ride on a bus, a metro, and in 2 taxis.
I definitely feel like I'm on an adventure here...I can now just barely say, "Hello" and "Thanks", though after a quick language lesson, I feel relatively confident in pronouncing the words I read. It is quite an odd feeling though to bump into people left and right, and know that most won't understand my "Sorry!"s and "Pardon Me"s.
I am taking a crazy number of pictures, so rest assured--I'll post some when I return to the U.S.
I'll be leaving here Monday morning (super early!), and getting back into LA Monday afternoon.
Be well in the meantime!

Hi Kristie
Wow you are in Istanbul, Turkey!!!?
I got on to internet explorer just now, which I very rarely do as I'm Firefox dependent, and wondered what in the world is Blue Zionite -which I had book marked ages ago. And found you!
Great you are still sharing your musings, you are a good writer. Keep it up!
Enjoy Turkey, and keep us posted.
Regards from Eastwest College

you're in Instanbul?
crazy yet awesome.
I'm in Peru, trying to e-mail you unsuccessfully. I will now take this opportunity to drive traffic to www.chapolan-cachil.blogspot.com. But mostly you can check it out as you are always so kind to give us a shout out. Its a project of the non profit.
Take care, enjoy things over there
