"Sungulls"----nicely done Goodberg.

Ipek and her mom who spoke only Turkish. Ipek worked at an NGO teaching leadership skills and some business courses in Moldova for a few months, this is where we met. She let us stay at her place for 2 days/nights. It was nice to be with a family for Christmas. Man, being a traveler on Christas really sucks no matter what you do when you can't get home. I missed you guys-fam and friends SO MUCH. It was pretty internally miserable but I was still very happy and blessed to have so much love around me. Adam, Ipek, her lil sister Panash, her mother and father. We made them nachos and Coke floats. It's hard to make "american food" ya know. Adam is also vegetarian and no cheese eater so it was a challenge to find food but when we did it was delicious. Ipek's mom smokes one cigarette a day with her afternoon Turkish coffee which I found charming enough to join her. ;)

This ones for you mom-"i love you THIS much" haha

Me and Ipek working on our tans by the cement palm tree.


Ipek's beautiful and very loving family. Dad's Mom, Mom's Mom, Auntie, Ryan, Mom, Adam
They pinched our cheeks and told us how beautiful we were, they were like a bunch of loving, laughing hens.
