The two weeks leading up to our departure were unusually busy, yet I was determined to learn a little Turkish. I downloaded a program on my phone and snatched any down time I could manage to walk through the basics. For anyone unfamiliar with the language, I would describe it as the result of the unfortunate romantic entanglement between Mary Poppins and a Klingon. The words are harsh yet refined. After several weeks of lessons I retained approximately 15 words. Well actually it was more like 8. And as of the time of this writing I can only remember 1 and it’s either the word for bread or a young boy, I kept getting them mixed up. Of course that makes me entirely nervous in anticipation of having to order breakfast.
Oh, you guys are just too much!! I am laughing so hard I may have to use the bathroom.....LOL!!
