Dad has been here for a week today! First what happened is I stayed up late thursday night getting things done for when he got there at 1pm the next day. I also got a chance to talk to both my sisters on skype (which has not happened since summer). I finally got to be around 2am only to be woken up by a small knock on my door. It was my host dad saying, "your dad is here in Turkey and he called Sanem since you were not there and your phone number was not working. He is on his way and should be here soon."
WHAT THE?!?! You can imagine my surprise and confusion. Apparently i completely didnt notice that his flight came in at 1am and not 1pm!
I felt so bad that i forgot my dad! Not only that but he wrote down my number wrong but i had given him my host mom Sanems number before and he called her at 2:30am! Luckily my host dad was still up doing work so he helped get everything ready for when my dad got there. We waited and waited but he didnt come. Something was wrong. I was completely freaking out, tired, and so sorry.
Dad finally got there. The taxi driver couldnt find the place and they had even driven accross the bridge to Asia trying to find it! BUt finally he was there and in one piece.
My host parents were super great about the whole thing and even found it humorous. They were really nice and great helping us our a bunch.
We spent the night by the Cora church taking time to walk around and explore the ancient wall that was in the area and the next day we explored the Blue mosque, grand and spice bazaar, and the Basilica Cistern. It was fun just catching up with him. After 6 or so hours of planning and looking things up we finally got the flights for the rest of our trip too.
Plan was to fly to Izmir and go to Ephesus for two days
Fly back to Istanbul for a day
Fly to Rome for a day then the next night
Fly to Barcelona Spain.
Crazy right!
It was and I am not extremely exhausted!
But thats not all
After Spain for 6 days We are flying to Naples Italy to see pompeii!!!!
Then two days later fly back to Istanbul for another day or so and then dad flys back to the states.
After dad leaves i will only have 3 more weeks in Turkey! I am so ready to go home!!!!
