Eskisehir

We’re here but haven’t seen much of the city yet.  Unfortunately we both ate something in Istanbul that didn’t agree with us so we’re stayed close to a bathroom for the day.  My first view of the city was from the floor of the metro (adventure!!) where I got on and immediately passed out.   People around me were kind enough to throw water on me so I woke up pretty quick.  I tend not to drink much on long plane and bus rides because I don’t particularly like bathroom stops but I guess I went a little overboard and really dehydrated myself.  Needless to say I didn’t do anything else yesterday.  Came to the hotel and went to bed.  Hardly anyone speaks English so we are really at the mercy of the woman who recruited us to show us around and learn the city.  Jerry did talk to our employers yesterday and we think we can negotiate for a 5 day work week instead of 6. Yeah!!  Also found out school doesn’t start until later in Sept so we have time to get our apartment and possibly do some more traveling around turkey.  This looks like it will work out even better than we had hoped.
