A Snowy Day for Rebecca's Birthday!

Today is cold day in Istanbul. We have had snow for the last day or so and it is expexcted to continue for the next few days. We decided to get out and enjoy the snow. Here are a few pictures from our adventure.



These are some pictures of the snow the next day!

I Never Knew ORANGES were soo goood!!

For some reason in the States i really wasnt that big of a fruit eater, but here things are so different. The fruit here is unbeleivable. Right now we have alot of oranges and strawberries in season. I have found myself sitting and eating six or seven oranges at a time. They also have mandelinas right now. These are kind of like tangerines. On that note does anyone know the difference between a tangerine, satsuma, or a mandelina?

Engineers BEWARE

Have you ever wondered what people were thinking when they do some things. This is a picture of a building next to our apartment that was started well before we came and was then abandoned. After seeing the picture it is not to hard to see that planning ahead was not this contractors strong suit. I have heard of being enviromentally friendly but i think this is taking it a little to far.
