Spending an evening in

I really treasure the friends I've made in Izmir so far. Among them is a fantastic English instructor named Rae. I know we'll have many adventures together. She's shown me that doors open for tall blondes in Izmir's local culture. Definitely a good person to share a night out on the town with. In this case, it was good to end a long day with a quiet glass of wine on the balcony.

     Everyone who's been here a while tells me it's gonna get tough when the semester begins but for now I can't imagine wanting to leave.
