I can already tell it's going to be difficult keeping up with posting to the blog, and responding to emails....things are so busy so I apologize if I have not returned your email yet! I promise I will soon.
Just 1.5 weeks left in Turkey, and honestly I think I am about ready to move on. The weather here is really depressing, after the first week or two it has really rained everyday! I am ready for the beaches of Thailand! I have really been enjoying the weekends though, after the tiring work weeks. It is hard going back to work on Monday though, after taking a mini vacation every weekend. Izmir/Ephesus was a great trip, we got some cool photos in Ephesus (one of which is now my new facebook profile pic) and saw some great history. Last weekend I went to Athens with one of the CAD girls, and we stayed with her friend who is from Athens (and Greek). So I basically lived like a local for the weekend, minus the 3 hour Athens Walking Tour I did on Saturday. The tour was called the Acropolis tour, but the guards there went on strike so it was closed the whole weekend. Despite that, it was still interesting and I got some great photos. It was carnivale in Athens over the weekend which was alot of fun...everyone was dressed up in costumes and the partying was plentiful. I really fell in love with the city and did not want to leave! The city is more laid back than Istanbul, which I really enjoyed, and because the weather was so nice there, people were outside all the time eating and having coffee.
This weekend I am going to Petra with two of the girls on the audit, and that will be my last weekend trip here! Work is going ok, still getting adjusted to everything though. It's hard working in a room with 6 people constantly talking when I am used to my quiet cube!
I am off to play some tennis now - will try to write again soon!
