No link
Apparently I can't hotlink stuff. If you really want to see the map, you'll need to copy/paste the link into your browser, or search for one yourself. Sorry!

Yeah, things are ok. It'm just entering midterm season now (one on friday, one tomorrow (on monday)), so it's kind of odd. But so far they have been just like Olaf - ID and Essay, and since I've been doing oodles of reading because the material is spiffy, I think I'm doing ok. But yeah, no spring break yet. It's crazy. I'm done in June, I may stay a while to tour, and other than that..... I don't know. I may end up in Madison, living with friends and working at a Turkish restaurant, as all my inquiries about summer research/positions at Olaf in the last month have turned up zilch. But yeah, Istanbul is still awesome. How is Scottland? What are your plans for summer so far?

Scottish burritos
HAHA! That is awesome. I fixed up bean burritos with a girl from America and my friend Hanna (from Sweden). I was so surprised to find refried beans here that I decided to make bean and cheese burritos. My flat-mates had never heard of the Refried beans and they were pretty skeptical about it until they were actually done. It was so good. We used the Turkish yogurt as sour cream too. Plus some guacamole that Hanna fixed up. I have decided to make a list of all the foods I want when I get back home. Hope things are going well for you in Turykey! When do you get back again? And what are you doing this summer?

Cool videos and pics!
Hey Brian! How are you doing? Hope you're working and playing hard. We're on Spring Break here and just got home from Door County. It was very peaceful, quiet, and restful. Drove thru Penisula State Park Easter morning with big, fat snowflakes falling down. Just us and the squirrels(not to mention the squirrels in the car with me). I loved the videos and pics.....very nice. It's fantastic to see it thru your eyes. I was wondering if you could get a few pics of your dorm room and classroom(s) so I can show the second graders? That would be a great connector for them. Thanks again for the blog and stuff. Do take very good care of yourself and have a safe fun time..... love and peace, Aunt Jan

thinking of you!
Hi Brian! It looks like you are having quite a big adventure.... Please know you have lots of people at home thinking and praying for your safety, and supporting your world travels! (okay...I say this...and I mean this...kinda hokey, but mostly awesome....right?) Let your followers know if your paperwork get sorted out....wow...if there are two things I hate they would be paper work, and paper work in foreign languages! :)

Wow! Turkey!
Hey there Brian! Greetings and hello from the frozen tundra of Oak Park, Illinois! It is sure good to read that you're doing well and adjusting to the new sights and sounds of Turkey. How exciting! You are a fantastic story teller! Love the details. And the pics too! How about some self portraits? Of course not like your brother Nathan! No nostrils please! Thinking this would be a good second grade geography lesson! I'll try checking this out at school. Do take care of yourself and keep your eyes open! Be safe and have fun! Peace and Love, Aunt Jan

Howdy, Yeah, I missed that typo. It was a dessert place, with truffles and chocolate and ice cream and who knows what. The weather is pretty nice, nicer than February in Minnesota or Wisconsin anyway. It's been around 50 usually, but the winter months are the "rainy months" - the only time that Turkey really gets any precipitation, usually it's rain, but there was a light snow the last two days, no real accumulation though. I'm a junior at St. Olaf, majoring in history, and depending on how these classes transfer back credit-wise, I'll likely be adding on Economics for a second major. I don't have any concrete plans after graduating, though I seem to be heading toward some kind of graduate school and teaching position, likely history at the college level. But we'll see, I've still got some time to decide. Sounds like Arizona is treating you well, and two incoming grandkids will be a handful. Glad to hear from you. If you'd like to know anything about Turkey while I'm here (or after) just keep checking back, or ask me directly. Brian

hello
Hi Brian, Barb and I were at dinner last evening with your grandparents and Uncle Dick, which is how I know about your blog. Greetings from Arizona where the only snow is above 6000 feet normally and the temps are in the low 70's daytime. Your beginnings in Turkey sound very interesting-did you go to a desert place or a dessert place? I'm trying to reconcile desert with snow. Your courses are impressive. What are your plans beyond graduation, if you have any at this time? What year are you at St. Olaf? We are doing well, and we are expecting two more grandchildren next summer, which adds to our excitement. I work part time as the sales and marketing person for a print shop and Barb works part time for a non-profit helping families of low income. Golf continues to be my other pasttime. Off to my breakfast now and then to work. Peace, ed
