Yesterday, after our long walk around the neighborhood, our new roommate, Sinem, moved into the apartment. She and her sister valiently struggled to put together the frame for an Ikea futon. We helped with the deconstruction when they discovered the problem. Afterwards, she invited us to have "drinks" at her boss's apartment. Her sister drove there, which turned out to be an adventure all in itself through the winding one-way, one-lane roads. More than once we encountered cars coming through the wrong way... Alex and I were totally disoriented by the time we got to the apartment. It was in the basement of a building with a massive stone spiral staircase. To our surprise, Sinem's sister announced that she had to leave and there was a moment when both Alex and I thought, "How will we ever get back to our place???" Sinem assured us that it was walking distance (!) and she wouldn't abandon us :) We spent the evening in the garden,
even after the power went out for a couple of hours. When we finally did walk home at 1am, it took only 15 minutes to get back. Plus, the streets were filled with people hanging out in cafes. I guess we enjoyed an early night in comparison. So, today, we didn't quite have the same level of energy for getting out and about. This example set the standard for the day:
Alice was wiped out from chewing up those cords, indeed!
Tomorrow we'll do a little more...
