Happy Republic Day, Turkey.  I arranged this boat show for you.

We're speaking in sentences peeps.  That's kind of an exaggeration, but we are trying to speak in sentences. Actually, we're practicing sentences alone in our apartment, but not yet speaking them when others are near. Still, huge step up.  You can go far with "thank you" as your primary vocabulary, but it's time to pump up the volume.  Our host country has been patient and helpful, but I'm ready to start throwing around some random Heblish expressions, to prove that we're not total slackers.  I've been texting Achyanit Yafeh (wonderful niece) who lives in Jerusalem and she's been extremely encouraging. I'm feeling pretty darned sababa right now my friends.
