Picnic

Yesterday was such a gorgeous day! For the last few weeks we haven't been getting many of those, and a lot of days have been down right cold. So we welcomed the sun by going for a picnic. Anthony, Kevin, Natalie and I went to the grocery store, and then headed to Florya with a blanket in tow. Florya is just two stops away on the train, and it has a really nice park by the sea. It was a wonderful time of lying in the sun, eating sandwiches, pita bread and hummus and swinging on the swings.
After that I was supposed to head to Taksim for church. Traffic has been really bad lately, and I stood in line for a whole hour to catch the dolmuş! While I was waiting in line, a bird pooped on my head - twice!! Then, the ride was over an hour (its usually 15 mins). Church starts at 8:00, and I got in line at 6:30 and arrived at church at 8:50! So much for that.
It was a nice day off, and now back to the weekend grind at work. blah.

p.s. Please please please nobody tell me the outcome of the Michigan game tonight - Im going to download it and i really dont want to know what happens!
