Bowling with my tutor's family was so much fun! Here is their teenager giving it her best try. Dad was giving her good bowling tips all night long.

Sedef was our non-stop entertainment at the Bowling alley. Too bad she got tired after 1 game. But of course, that is normal for any 2 year old. Nonetheless, she and her family were delightful to be around.

My tutor's daughter LOVES my rain boots! That was the best $4.00
I ever spent at the thrift Store! They not only keep my feet warm and dry in this city's winter weather, the provide Sedef with at least an hour of great fun and lots of laughs for us!

We recently experienced our first Kurban Byram here. These guys are being sold for the Kurban holiday. Kurban means "sacrifice".
