After a long rainy week in Washington, DC we were so happy
to come to Istanbul and see the nice sunny spring weather…sadly, after one
sunny day we have had another week of rain! HAHA. It followed us.
The locals tell us that it is a good thing because they had
a mild winter so the rain is needed. I put my suit jacket in my bag and roll up
my pant legs and off I go to work each day. Actually, the really steep hills in
Istanbul are giving Lady Hiva and I some great leg and lung workouts. Going
down isn’t too bad, but coming back up is!
We have put Tau’aho’s stroller to some good use lately. It
is our cart for food and transporting packages and other items. The hills are
so steep that sometimes we have to literally both push the cart to get up the
hill! Our new sense of success is counting how many times less we have to stop
on the way up and down the hill.
Today we were walking back in the rain and the locals (most
likely knowing EVERYONE that walks on their street) stare at us and our
homeless look. Just us out in the rain and our cart of food and items! Haha…
We promise when the rain settles a bit we will get out and
get you some better photos of the area. For now we are getting used to the time
difference and unpacking all our stuff. (WE HAVE SO MUCH STUFF!!! And we still
have two more shipments coming!) Maybe we need to revisit President Hinckley’s
challenge to simplify!
