Tomorrow

Today is my last day in Connecticut. I am excited and terrified and I feel sort of sick to my stomach. I'm flying Hartford to D.C. to Munich to Ankara. The fathers from my first two host families are meeting me in the airport with flowers.

Last night, I had a few people over for a bonfire, and it was really, really nice to see everyone before I go. All of my friends either brought or filled out a blank postcard with their address, so I can write them as soon as I get to Turkey. It was a sad night, I suppose, but it was a wonderful way to visit before I depart, and everyone was incredibly sweet.

Right now, it is beautiful outside, and I think I'm going to go to the beach and swim. It must be close to ninety here. On Tuesday, when I'm arriving in Ankara, it is supposed to be 100 degrees. What will I do?! I much prefer the cold and am worried about being really uncomfortable in the heat.

We aren't quite done packing, so I should go do that now. I'll try and write some posts while I have a layover in the airport.

Love,

Natalie

    Natalie, Bob says you flew over us about an hour ago heading out over the Atlantic--I hope you're sleeping some until your quick transfer in Munich! Tell us all what it's like when you get to Ankara! xomom
