Stephane and I are going to Turkey in a couple of weeks to visit our friends Uraz and Oya (and another friend Erez who recently move to Istanbul from Paris.) This is very exciting! I can't wait to go back. I went for the first time with Mr. George Jaramillo and we ate, drank, and smoked our way through a beautiful and tasty country. Unfortunately, my favorite restaurant in Istanbul is now a pile of rubble after the goddam terrorist attack on the British Consulate, but I am sure we will find new places. I am actually a little nervous about going without George. I mean, will Stephane be brave enough to venture into the International UFO Museum? Will he be patient with me while I smoke a nargileh in front of disapproving men? We shall see. In any case, I am very excited to see our friends and to visit one of the most magical cities in the world again. I am a lucky girl!
