Istanbul to Odess

Who would have thought that so much could happen from one place to another! I landed in Istanbul and took the metro into town and met this really nice older Australian gentleman who i went shopping with in the Grand Bazaar. it was awesome, he works in an oil rig every other month in Kazakstan and we had turkish ice cream, sesame seed bagels, cold lemonade and bought bracelets, pashminas and bath towels that are beautiful. I wish i could type more byt he way but I am on a foreign keyod board that keeps jumping from plaec to place/. Biut I arrived in odessa to see john and masha johns gf with flowers and we had such a feast at the hostel where mashas mom made some od the best dishes i have ever had. we had rice stuffed peppers, eggplants cheesy tomatoes, delicisou fish, cole slaw stuff, a white estonian drink and really good creamy cake....more to come when i find a normal computer!
