I meant to eat only half the can but it was so good I couldn’t stop! I love mushy peas. A few good photos of the last few days: Irem, post-hair extravaganza: My “costume” last night for Omer’s birthday party… Haha (I dressed the boys. They were my costume. I’m not exactly sure how that…

Happy Valentine’s Day! In honor of Valentine’s Day, I have finished writing about my England adventures. 🙂 I think I left off on Wednesday, after our incredible Morrison’s trip.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
Since Neil won’t actually be around for February 14th, we took a special trip to Morrison’s… Moral of the story: never let a girl who has lived in Turkey for the last six months loose in a grocery store!

One more photo from last weekend: a reunion with Luke and Neil who I met in a hostel in Munich five years ago. Monday, we hung out all day and watched West Wing, ate split pea and ham soup and piri piri chicken sandwiches, and in the evening, we had dinner at Neil’s parent’s house…
