I said I was enjoying the cool weather thanks to hurricane Ernesto. Well, I didn't know then that Washington DC was on the direct path, and hence made plans to go to New York. Funny, when I think about it :). Of course, we ended up not going, Old Town and the Starbucks on the waterfront as usually got flooded - this is a miniflood, they close for a few hours, clean up, and reopen, but on the wall of that Starbucks - I think it is one of the few Starbucks Cafes with a soul - hang a few older photos showing people canoing to that Starbucks for their morning coffees! So, yes, it gets flooded regularly, but nothing as serious as that one time shown in the photos. Instead of going to New York, we ended up in a coffee shop in Old Town, watchin the rain pour down, I was reading a boring novel titled the Saint Of Insipient Sanities, the author is Turkish, so I have to give her credit in writing and getting published in English. This week passed by quickly with my childbirth classes, which Levent and I both attent. This is only the first of six sessions. We are both learning a lot, and it is nice to know there is someone who knows what to do besides myself, especially if that someone is your partner. I miss my old friends and I wish there was a way I could meet with them, if only for half an hour, but we are scattered all over the world quite literally and blogging is the only means to communicate. Sad. Do we really not have any time to write letters?
