I'm Coming Home !!!!

I'm making plans to return. I will be home before June 1st. It's been a wonderful stay, but I'm looking forward to doing all of the mundane things I used to do at home, like laundry and watering the flowers. Not to mention I can't wait to see all my friends and family !!!

I have always meant to take more pictures around campus, but now that dad is coming to visit I will take lots of pictures while showing him the campus.

Looking forward to seeing everyone real soon !!!!!!!

Safranbolu & Kastamonu

I took a trip with Nadia and Camay a while back (mid March) and I'm just getting the pictures posted. It was a wonderful trip and as always the people were warm and hospitable.

Very friendly metal-worker. He kept a book that all his foreign visitors signed.

Camay, Nadia, and our hotel owner / tour guide who showed us all around Kastamonu including this shrine of an ancient hollyman whom it is said is forever mommied because he was so holy.
