We arrived in Istanbul

After an uneventful but looooog plane ride we arrived in Istanbul Sunday evening.  We left Tucson Saturday morning.  First thing we want to do is thank our friends Judy and Sam Robison for the use of their guest house for the three weeks we were in Tucson.  It was perfect!  Now we’re trying to orient ourselves in a city of 15 million people.  We spent most of today walking around and figuring out how to get to the bus station so we can get to Eskisehir on Thursday.  We need to orient to our jobs on Friday and then we have until Sept 1st to figure out living arrangements etc.  It’s very exciting but a little daunting to be starting a new career in a new city in a different culture.  Wow.  Thanks to all of you who have been reading the blog.  We’ll try to send out instructions on how to comment on the site (we heard some people had trouble), but you can always e-mail me at clittle1946@gmail.com .  I’ll want to hear news from home often.
