Yesterday was cold. I knew this might be a problem. you see, packing for seven weeks in the tropics, with a short 8 day start in Turkey was difficult with only one carry-on bag. By the time I packed my shorts, skirts, light weight tops, sun hat, sandals, bathing suit, gobs of toiletries like sunscreen, DEET, Malaria medicine, and of course - my sari - there was no room left for things like socks, long underwear, sweaters and coats. I found myself wandering the spice market and grand bazaar in Istanbul looking for earmuffs! OK, so it was not really THAT cold, but today I am wearing my long sun dress with my tights underneath, my zip up sweater and raincoat. I was tempted to put on the funny green socks they give you on Turkish Airlines, but with the sandals it was just too much. I already look like frump girl from hell.
Nathan is hovering over my shoulder...anxious to go dive in to the wonderful Turkish breakfast they provide at our hostel...so, I will fill you all in later on the sights and sounds of Istanbul...and of course on Brother Hyat!
