We went to our neighbors' for dinner last Friday night. We've chatted a little bit here and there, but this was our first chance to really spend some time with this family. Our other neighbor, Zeynep (in the purple shirt) came, too. We went to her village last month.
It was so fun to spend time together and get to know our neighbors better. Zeynep's husband works on a big ship and she entertained us with stories from their travels around the world. Let's just say that she confirmed my vow to never step foot onto a container ship and cross the ocean.
What?! This isn't something you contemplate?
The family that invited us has a local business. They are working really hard to produce organic molasses and hazelnut butters. Their products are yummy!
I feel like we are finally getting out and about and meeting more people. It seems that so much of our lives have been consumed by school. But, we are slowly gaining balance and getting outside of our school bubble. I am thankful for our sweet neighbors and for the time we are spending together.

It is certainly a blessing to have good neighbors. Glad you are getting to know yours.
