Trip to Turkey

Here are my photos from my recent trip to Turkey. I'm kind of mad at them because a whole bunch came out looking really pixelated plus the overcast sky washed out a lot of them, but what can you do? Still, one or two decent pictures.

And I Think to Myself...

The past week I got to spend with Sophie. Incredibly, the eight nights were the longest that we have ever been able to spend together. And it was certainly what I always imagine it to be. Comfortable.

During her stay I showed her around Qatar, including trips to Souq Waqif and the inland sea. I even sucked up my fear of cars and went duning with her. While I'm on that topic, what retard thought it was a good idea to drive 80 miles an hour across fucking sand dunes?! To hell with that. But I did it, again, and she had fun. So, that was worth it.

Anyways, the best part of having her here was simply to be able to live together for a little while. Its incredible how easy it is too feel at home with the right person. I never once had an issue about personal space or crowding. It was simply right to have her there.

So, thank you to Sophie for the wonderful time. And for everyone reading this, please keep your fingers crossed that everything will work out and I will receive a contract extension and her an offer to work in our library for next year.
