Yes!! Your Father and I were very happy you were home!! Going was the right thing for you to do, but it did not mean I wasn't worried the whole time you were traveling alone. I worried that you would be found dead in the ditch. We love you too much to ever face that tragedy!!!
I am not entirely sure, but its just outside of Kassel, I could be spelling it wrong since I never saw it actually written out, just talked about. Sorry I can't be of more help!
Is Hannover Spitz a part of Hannover or Kassel Hi,
I happened to come across blog yesterday when google let me to your page for the words: 'giving away clothes in Kassel'. If you don't mind me asking, could you please clarify where this HannoverSpitz place is. Is it a part of Hannover or closer to Kassel but has 'Hannover' in the name. I'm living in Kassel for a while and haven't encountered this seemingly beautiful place yet. I feel it's worth a visit. Please let me know. It would be of great help. Cheers!
Bones! I had no idea that the bone church was there before getting to Kunta Hora, I just kind of stumbled upon it. Dad sure does! Thanks for reading, miss our time in Turkey together!
I was thinking bone china I was reading your blog on my cell so the photos get a bit scruntched. Anyway, I see the picture of the bone chandeleir and I'm thinking bone as in bone china. Later on I read about how it is actual human bones. Did you know this place existed before visiting? Still very cool. If Dad ever does another haunted house, he has some work cut out for him.
friends from a far I am sure you and Emma can become close friends even if you don't live near each other. I mean, I haven't lived near you for like 3 years and I still adore you! This is what skype was invented for!
Picasso I love that you got to see Picasso! They had the traveling Picasso exhibit come to Richmond and it was really wonderful. We got to see so many different paintings it was like culture overload. We even bought a reproduction for our anniversary gift. I would love to see a real Monet though..
Catching the fish I do remember that! I also remember trying my hand at netting them, but I just couldn't catch one, I was devastated that I couldn't do it! They are yummy :)
Blessed Marcus I laughed and laughed and laughed when I saw the picture with the blessed Marcus comment.
Do you remember once while traveling when we lived there we stopped at a restaurant that had a concert pool full of live fish. We pointed out the fish we wanted to eat and the guy netted them and cooked them. They were trout and served with the heads on. Every fish I ever ate in Turkey had its head on it when it came to the table.
Love you tons,
Mom
Glad you like them! I am so happy to hear you are enjoying my blogs! I had gotten a little bit behind in writing them but I am almost all caught up, stay tuned for more!
Love

Wonderful Blog Barrett, I nearly called your mom last night to see if you were all right. I had not received your blog for awhile and I was beginning to get concerned. Marshall and I have loved following you on your dream trip. Everyone is so jealous! I was thrilled that Marcus was able to join you and share all the excitement. How your mother has been able to restrain herself and not fly over to see you is beyond me! Looking forward to seeing you when you return to the States. In the meanwhile, keep the blogs coming!! Stay safe and always remember how much you are loved, Aunt Martha
Great blog You really have to use your imagination at the Temple of Artemis. Earthquakes hit that place several times and most of it is up the hill and embedded in the walls of St John's church. Looks like you made the best use of your time with the wine and rugs.
Your Blogs As usual your blogs are so interesting. So happy you learned about carpets. When we were there the young girls did the silk knotting because their fingers were small enough to make the knots. It sounds like they get a bit more money and have more freedom of work designs then 30 years ago.
Excellent That was a fun day. Started out a little foggy but that burned off and it was beautiful. You had the special yogurt with powdered sugar on the ferry and later an ice cream. We could see schools of fish in the water at Anadolu Kavagi - it was that clean and clear.
