another aeroplane, another sunny place

Turkey was a wonderful, aubergine-filled (I learned a new term!) experience. I will never forget its history, character, and ice cream. I'd like to recount some of the more interesting experiences, but frankly I'm too lazy. Maybe once I return home I'll take some time to collect a few thoughts and keep you all entertained even after my travels. We woke up early this morning and took a short flight to Athens, Greece. They served a full breakfast! We took off, ate, then landed. Ha! It's Independence Day here, but we unfortunately juuuust missed the parade. There will hopefully be something extra exciting going on tonight?

This post is dedicated to Alex Peyser who has been a constant reader of my blog. I hope you're having a relaxing break, but Aaron and I wish you were here ;) If you've somehow stopped reading, I will maim you upon my return.
