April 1 (Leah's)

 

This morning we enjoyed these amazing toasty, cheese filled, delightful, mouth-watering crepe like rollups for breakfast! So good! After breakfast we took it easy and eventually got out selves into “work-out” mode once again. I jumped rope and Spencer went for a little run, and then we went for a 15min run together. We went back to the “workout park” to stretch and cool down! We decided after lunch to head off into town, not sure where we would end up, or even if we would make it to town. We started walking in the general direction of town, and surprisingly we didn’t get lost and ended up at the marina. We walked around for a while and took some pictures before heading back home. We ran a bit to get home so we would get nice and warm because I wanted to go swimming in Guler’s pool. I grabbed my swimsuit and edged my way closer to the pool- knowing it was going to be cold (and it was by now 6:00ppm and no sun was on the pool). I braved the plunge (Spencer also said he would pay be 28,000$ if I did, so I took him up on his (obviously fake) offer as an incentive to jump in). And with that, I conquered the pool. It was mighty cold. If I stayed under too long I would get a head freeze! After a hot shower, we were able to Skype with Mom and Dad Jensen, which was nice! We enjoyed a delicious dinner. It was minced meat rolled up in paper-thin flat bread dough, and then placed in a circular shape before being baked. When they were served they were topped (or swimming in) with a garlic yogurt sauce and drizzled with an oil spice mixture. It was amazing! Gunay the housekeeper is an amazing cook. We are truly blessed to be here!
