JSF's wisdom

I like to see people reunited, I like to see people run to each other, I like the kissing and the crying, I like the impatience, the stories that the mouth can't tell fast enough, the ears that aren't big enough, the eyes that can't take in all of the change, I like the hugging, the bringing together, the end of missing someone.

Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life.

Babam

Off to see the world, there's such a lot of world to see.

My time in Istanbul has come to a close. Now, onto the next adventure!


I'm taking the long road home: Belgrade --> Freiburg --> Berlin --> Amsterdam --> Brussels --> San Sebastian/Pamplona/Barcelona --> Roma --> Tuscany for almost three weeks to volunteer at a local summer theater in the Orcia Valley. 


I will miss Turkey so much, but I feel like I really appreciated every day here while it was happening, so I have no regrets. 


Ciao Istanbul, seni özleyeceğim.

Roomies

Signe has already left, we all said our teary goodbyes this morning. Now, I wait to say farewell to my lovely Turkish roommates, Sisi and Özgecan, in the picture below. The people I lived with were definitely one of the best parts of being in Turkey. I can't believe our time together is already over, but I will patiently await my package of Tutkus in the fall.
