View of a Castle 
The Cisterns
Hi All--Here are some pictures of our tour of Istanbul and dinner cruise on the Bosphorus that I neglected to post earlier.  Can't believe it was only a few weeks ago!

Well, I made it through the first week of school and the parent meeting, so am thankful!  Lots of singing, coloring (by students) and teaching of expectations, colors and learning names. They are definitely going to keep me on my toes!  Had two tennis lessons at the Tarsus Tennis Club, which was both a great de-stresser and a great workout.  Finally figured out how to get a bus card, and how to take the bus despite lack of schedules or regular bus stops.  One just waits and flags down the bus needed!

  1. Loved your new post and photos, some of which I'd already seen, but not others. Gorgeous shot of the castle from the Bosphorus cruise and of the Cisterns. Glad you're getting acclimated with public transport, et.al.
    Love,
    Mom
