Happy Friday everyone!
My day was pretty interesting. I met some more students, who are high school seniors and, like everyone else, incredibly nice. They invited me to sit in on one of their classes. I figured that it didn't matter that much, because I don't understand my teacher anyway, and their teacher didn't mind, so I went to their 12th grade level Chemistry class, instead of Geography. It was fun to be with different students, and as excited as I was to be there, I think they were even more excited to have me there. They invited me to come to some of their classes next week as well.

My afternoon was not nearly so much fun. It is very difficult to find a bank here that will accept traveler's checks, and the bank that I went to today was completely unhelpful. However, my mood became much better about 5 minutes ago, because Fatma just gave me a loaf of challah that she baked for me for Shabbat. Wow, I think I have the most thoughtful neighbors ever. This is why I love Turkey, the people that I have met are wonderful.

Hope everyone has a good weekend and Shabbat Shalom!
