Princes' Islands

That is me, Pamela, Hoai and Charlotte in a horse carriage on one of the islands. They are all studying in my Turkish class too. So nice to have new friends here!

Solar Heating

In Turkey everyone uses solar water heaters. This is the view from the roof of our new condo building where you can see all the solar water heating systems and Greek island of Kos (in the back) and a Turkish island. It is the cheapest way to heat here. The whole system costs about $450 and is widely available, including at the equivalent of Home Depot and local hardware stores.
