Well...the whole family had a case of the runs this week and the blog author is the last to come out of it. The joys of adjusting to a new country...in more ways than one.
We decided to celebrate a potentially healed family and a beautiful day with a trip to the palace that the Father of Modern Turkey once lived in. $14 for everyone except students...who pay $.80. Are we ever glad we signed up for our university language classes this week!
We weren't allowed to take photos inside, so here's a glimpse into what it was like from a 15 month old's point of view...
"Wow! That light thing they call a shand-y-leer in the ceiling is sooooooooooo big. This room is great. I can run up and down the red carpets and nobody gets in my way....plenty of space for everyone!"
10 minutes later...
"This room looks a lot like that last room. Who could sit on this furniture? I like looking at all these pretty colors though."
3 minutes later...
"Why are we still here?? How do we get out of here? Where is my snack? Where is my crib? Why don't mommy and daddy take me home?"
And that was the end of our nice family trip to the palace. Rick stayed for part 2 of the tour and Micah & Steph fled home for a mutual nap.
