Hey Tony and Laura,

I enjoyed reading over your last few posts. The trip to Turkey looked awesome. Praying for the rest of the visa application process to go smoothly.

It felt very claustrophobic. I felt like an intruder, so obviously not from this part of the country. People sit on their doorsteps doing things together, it feels like you a...
