Hello Everyone,
Eleanor and I have some exciting news! We just booked a flight to Amsterdam for Christmas week! It also happens to correspond with our visas expiring. So we'll spend Christmas in Amsterdam, see the Van Gogh Museum and some other Dutch art, tour the canals, etc, and then get another 3 month tourist visa for Turkey. Maybe after that we'll get residence permits.
We recently saw my parents again, along with some other family friends (you know who you are), as they stopped overnight in Istanbul after finishing up an amazing tour of Turkey, Syria, and Jordan. They had some fun stories to tell! My parents also got us a Turkish carpet for our apartment! (see pic)
Tomorrow we're going to take advantage of some (hopefully) sunny weather and go on a hike in the famous Belgrade Forest! We're both really looking forward to getting out of the big city for a bit and seeing and hearing some nature, rather than car horns and old engines. Walking down some streets you pretty much have to shout to be heard by the person walking right next to you.
We miss you all, and hopefully we'll have some fun pictures of the forest to share soon!
Love,
Mike and Eleanor
