Well, it’s Wednesday afternoon here in Thessaloniki, and according to my weather forecast, its sunny refreshingly crisp and cool. I would have gone for unseasonably cold, but whatev. It’s definitely an improvement over rainy and dreary like it has been since Thursday. I heard a rumor that it doesn’t rain at all here in the summer. I am crossing my fingers and looking forward to that.

In other news, I’m back from Turkey. I spent Saturday night-Tuesday in Istanbul, and it was the best trip I have taken so far. It was super eventful, so I’m going to spread my account out over a few posts– that’s a lot to remember (and write) in one setting. But now, I have to go to class. Look out for stories about off-roading in a double-decker bus, aggressively flirty Turkish merchants, and plenty of new pictures on Flickr soon.
