the family comes to ankara

sarah and i arrived back in ankara on tuesday night, and since then ben and i have been enjoying showing her the local sites and our favorite hang-outs.

dad arrived yesterday (mom will come on wednesday, due to a hang-up with her passport, don't ask) a bit weary, but happy to be here.  to celebrate we had a nice dinner at home and enjoyed an evening on the porch with red wine and cubans:

today we'll have brunch with grandma and then a bit more relaxing before the week begins.... and what a week it will be:  by this time next week, i'll be married...!
