-A Creative Title-

Merhaba again everybody,
Look at me, blogging multiple times in one month!
I am here at school; my class is taking a 3 period exam so I decided it would be a good time for me to burn the photos from my trip to CDs, and figured I would try to post some photos (not ripped from my friends' Facebook pages!) from Istanbul. I think I got a picture up of every big attraction we saw.
As you may or may not know, I switched host families last Saturday, not because I had problems with the last one, but just to experience Turkish life from a new perspective. My new family is great! I have a host mom and dad, and two host sisters ages 16 & 10 who are really nice. It was so hard for me to leave my last host family, though, since I had gotten so used to living with them in the past five months. Fortunately I only moved to an apartment building four or five blocks away, so I will still be able to see them frequently. (Actually, I bumped into my host parents jogging last night!)
The next Rotary trip on the horizon is one to Bursa, a city about 5 hours north of here, in March. My exchange friend Savannah lives there, and we all look forward to visiting her! Bursa is well-known for it's mountain, Uludağ, which is well-known for skiing. I hope we will get to do some of that while we're there, but who knows what the weather will be like.
Well, I will keep this post short and write again soon, and hopefully put up some more photos.
Until I write again, take care!
XOXOXO
Lydia
