Merhaba Turkey!
I leave for Turkey today with Fatma and Besta – pinch me, I think I am dreaming. We stay first in Istanbul and then fly to where Murat and the boys have been sailing for a few weeks already – we’ll join them for a few days before we head to Fatma’s parents tea plantation.
Arlene and Loca head for their vacation of sorts to the northshore where the Bean gets to stay with the couple in their house and Loca gets obedience training from the Lab Dog Whisperer.
Last night, under a fat crescent moon, I sat with friends outside on the bayou – a friend of K’s had given us fresh caught tuna and there was a gentle breeze blowing and the conversation centered around everyone talking about Turkey – all made for a pleasant evening.
Again, I’m thankful for my friends, my home, and the wonderful life I have created.
