A Beautiful Winter Day

Ibrahim’s wife was spending the day with her girlfriends so he had some time to go on a long walk with Jerry and I on Saturday.  He took us to a huge food bazaar and a clothing bazaar that we hadn’t found as well as another lovely park.  We also experienced boza, a Turkish drink made from chickpeas, cinnamon and sugar.  It’s a thick, creamy, sweet, drink and there were dozens of people buying glasses  from a tiny little store.   Apparently this drink is only sold in the winter and you don’t drink it with a meal.  It’s very good but also filling so I can imagine why you wouldn’t drink it with a meal.

Sunday’s weather is a little colder and not nearly as sunny but I have to go to school anyway for a program about kindergarten and Jerry has to grade exams.    

We’ve decided to spend semester break in Spain.  We’re going to Seville for 8 days and the final two days in Barcelona.  We thought about some places that would be a little warmer but Spain came out at the top of our discussion.
