lazy days

the new americans are going through their orientation (like i did the first couple of weeks i was here). so i have been tagging along any time a free lunch is involved. last saturday we went to the kale (citadel). i had already been there, but i knew that the lunch would be delicious. not much has changed there minus the piles of snow and ice.

makes for some challenges when walking around.

especially on the top of the citadel.

it was also really windy this day.

so standing on a 2 foot wide concrete wall thats like 50 feet above the ground was a little nerve wracking.

but being up there gives you a nice perspective of the city. at the very top of this picture you can see the bottom of some mountains.

i was trying to go to edirne this weekend. its the most western city of turkey, about 25 minute drive from bulgarian border. but unfortunately, there were no more tickets when i went to the bus office today. so i will try again later. instead, i am heading to eskişehir tomorrow, just for the day. nothing too exciting there, but i need to get out of ankara.

ill post more pictures when i come back. peace
