We have been very busy settling into our life in Istanbul and getting used to new jobs and school. On the weekend we did some sight seeing and went to see Topkapi palace on Saturday and Dolma Bahce on Sunday. They are both residences of Sultans, Topkapi is older, and Dolma Bahce is more jaw-dropplingly luxorious. Both places are beautiful and historic and we had a great time at both. Nehir was especially jazzed about the armory at Topkapi.

Nehir is doing great in school so far. He now takes the bus to and from and after some initial nervousness about this he now enjoys it. He had his first homework ever yesterday and he did it well. He reports having made many friends and he likes his teacher very much.
Nothing else to report.
