Oh, the Vacation Conversation blogposts I was going to have! I had planned to illuminate myself about Istanbul, bolt across the Bosphorous so that I could officially amble through Asia, and just generally traipse around Turkey. Alas, the NEH didn't appear to find my application essay worthy. (I can't imagine why my writing didn't impress them!)
Yes, the lack of Turkey in my life has been a letdown. Although not having to worry my family about getting potentially dragged into a fatal hostage situation and/or encountering ISIS insurgents has been an unexpected bonus to this whole rejected-by-an-entire-country thing.
More importantly, not jetting off to Istanbul has freed up my summr for a lot of other things. Like visiting friends and going to the Parthenon.
No, not that one! (Been there, done that!)
Nashville's Parthenon is more my speed this summer!
And maybe a little of this...
But first, a little stay-cation action...
Zippin' the Zoo & Zoomin' the River!
I think the summer's off to a nice start!
