IstanBOOYA!

fýrst of all, turkýsh keyboards are really funky so thýs wýll be short. just wanted to let everyone know that i am safe and sound ýn turkey. ý was a lýttle afraid noone was going to pick me up at the airport, but everything worked out okay. becky and i have already done some looking around at shops and she had bought two awesome paintýngs. we had a great vegetable casserole for supper, played wýth a lot of cats (they are everywhere!), heard the call to prayer, and talked wýth a lot of nýce turkish men (ý do not know where the women are).
