Sunny Day

Perhaps we're getting a bit too giddy about the presence of sunlight here, but today marks the second day of celebration of sunshine. Our windows are wide open, and, despite the cold, we are all basking in its rays. We've become even more ambitious and have begun planning a possible trip next weekend to somewhere like Bulgaria or elsewhere in Anatolian Turkey. Both are considerable journeys by bus, but this way is the cheapest, most convenient, and most conventional mode of travel in and around portions of Turkey.

Our spring break planning, too, is underway, but we have several options we want to explore before coming to a decision. In all likelihood, we are leaving Turkey and will visit multiple places, but the majority (though not all) of us will be refraining from Iran, Iraq, and Syria as destinations. Stay tuned.
