Our friend Gray came out to work for a month and it was fun to hang out with him. Jack took him to Cappadocia and we had been saving our trip to Istanbul until someone came to visit. So Gray was forced to be our guinea pig.

I don't think there is anything better that Jack being in Istanbul wearing a shirt with Tin Tin in Istanbul. For some reason it makes me so happy.
Here we went here! Unfortunately it was only for a few hours, so we didn't get all that you did in. So we are slackers and need to plan to meet up. We just finished a week in Normandy. Let's plan something in the future!
