Just a quickie to say that TKD misses and is envious of all the tryptophan-gobbling home folk, but we’ll do fine with souvlaki when we have our pseudo-international-Thanksgiving feast / Kristy-finished-her-thesis celebration on Saturday with good friends out here. So Happy Turkey Day to our family and friends back home, save us some of the good eats (freeze it!!).

Thursday, November 27th, 2008Should We Stay Or Should We Go?
Monday, November 17th, 2008If we go there will be trouble. But if we stay, it will be double?
Our life has suddenly turned into a Clash song. And really, this indecision is bugging me. Maybe you can help?
Kristy unexpectedly got a job offer here. The job itself is not as much a factor as is the viable opportunity it opens for us to stay in this incredible place for the long-term. Why wouldn’t we take it?
Well, there are lots of reasons actually, both for and against staying.
Long Overdue: Istanbul, In Photos

From "More Istanbul" set
First, a disclaimer: Sadly, between the rain which lasted nearly our entire trip and the diminishing quality of our abused digital camera, we managed to return from Istanbul with a lot of really bad photos. The trip was great… wet, but great. The photos we took don’t really do that magnificent city justice.
Luckily, our travel companions also took lots of photos and links to them are included below as well.
The Photos
- Kristy’s Picasa account > Constantinople…I mean, Istanbul…I mean, Constantinople
- I uploaded more Istanbul photos to my Picasa account, in addition to my really lame How To Travel To Istanbul (and back) photo set (just in case you missed that…)
- Koumbaros Christos put his Constantinople October 2008 collection up on Picasa as well.
