Yesterday, well two days ago now i suppose, we left Norfolk, slightly delayed because of troubles with the plane, and we made it to DC in time to dash across the Terminal to Board the Flight To Munich. I got to sit in Economy Plus on the bulkhead away from everyone else. The seat was wider and well, it was on the bulkhead. Munich was...different...i was surprised by how much english was everywhere. I was also surprised by the cost of everything. I had a panini that cost the equivalent of 8 american Dollars, I don't quite remember the Euro amount. Then we got on the flight to Ankara, which was full of screaming Noisy children, so I listened to my iPod the whole time that I wasn't sleeping. As we flew in everything looked Brown, and all of the buildings looked similar, a lightish brown color with a reddish roof, only one building looked different, and though I'm not sure I think it may have been attaturk's (sp?) tomb. When we got to the airport we found out that our luggage had been lost, which is a pain, because its bright and i want to wear my sunglasses so i can see everything, but without contacts (in my suitcase) I can't wear sunglasses and see everything. We went to a cake place last night and i had some really good cake, I think it was rasberry. Today Dad and I went with "Uncle Jimmy" to an authentic, 600 years old, turkish bath. We had to sit in the steam room which was 125 F, you could practically breath in the steam. After that they used a hand scrub to wipe off all of the dead skin, and the guy cracked my back. The best part was at the very end when they dumbed 2, 5 Gallon buckets of cold water on me, it was hot everywhere. Its especially hot wearing Jeans everywhere. Later today we are supposed to go to a museum with one of Ardodoo (sp?) neighbor friends, but they havent come yet. Till next time.
