Istanbul is Constantinople….

Rather than inundate you all with 100 and 1 different posts about being sick and feeling ill and just feeling awful I decided to skip those and just feel better.  And I am 90% there, also with the realization that I am not taking enough time for me to relax.  So I am.  I am removing all stressors from my life that don’t make my life better here.  And the first thing this calls for is a vacation.  Although this vacation was planned months ago, but shhh blog readers don’t know that.  I am heading to Knesha next Saturday for a fun-filled holiday season with Illika, Angel, Nina, Russi, and Nikol with Nancy joining for this year’s fun festivities.  Nancy and I will then be leaving for a 5 day vacation to Istanbul where we shall see the sights, eat the food, drink the drinks and have a merry ole time.  Not quite shure yet what we will do.  I just know that I need a vacation and a recharge for my last 7 months in the Peace Corps woot woot!
