really! i can feel it. the snow has melted and the temperature in ankara has been quite mild, even warm. spring is definitely my favorite season in turkey- the air changes and suddenly it feels... fresh. this morning i confirmed our next visitor- verna will be spending a week with us in april. by then it will really be warming up, and we will probably go down to the coast for a weekend on the beach. planning a trip to the beach definitely means spring.
to celebrate the change in seasons ben and i have been getting back into our routine at the gym, which feels really good. after our workout we had a nice saturday afternoon yesterday. we went downtown to run some errands and then stopped by mickey's, our friend's bar, for some celebratory cocktails on the deck. we spent the evening on the porch, listening to music and enjoying the sunset, then cooked a delicious steak dinner with some incredible asparagus i picked up at the market. asparagus in ankara? another sign that spring is coming!
this thursday i'm off to london for a week with my dear family/friends, the sabaneghs. sarah will be there, too, and we'll spend a week catching up all together as we wander the city. i'll be sure to post some pictures when i get back. until then, enjoy the signs of spring!
