The Black Sea Wind is a Fickle Mistress

When I walked out this morning the last thing I had expected was snow. Yesterday, while dreary, was still vaguely warm for January. By the time I got to the school my jacket and head were covered in snow.



Since the school was out today, (Today is a holiday in Turkey, I think.) I was instructed to go to the other cafe is Beshitash where school was also out. People were fighting over cabs on the street today, it took forever to find one unoccupied, and as soon as we got out of the taxi, another group hopped in.



The cafe here "Maksem" is really something, two of the walls were part of a byzantine cistern onto which a pretty classy cafe was built. I'm drying my socks on the radiator next to me now enjoying this respite from the elements.



I have a feeling there is still some excitement lurking today, I just need to to look in the right place.
