I'm so glad you are ok. My mom and I were just talking about the attacks in Istanbul at breakfast this morning. Quite a trip, eh? To my surprise, though, I managed to convince myself that you "fit right in" despite your rather liberal American sense of identity and minor experience with the Turkish language. Ask Mommy, I actually said the words, "I'm sure Anna is fine, I don't really worry about her." If anything, you probably attempted to convince the bombers to replace their detonators with Coronas and move on; however unsuccessfully. It sure seems like you're having a wonderful time. What exactly are you studying again? I keep forgetting - though, I'm sure you're in process of saving the world. Also, I have been reading David Sedaris's new book. You would enjoy it very much if you haven't already read it -- it reminds me of you every time I finish a page. BTW, I miss you terribly. I just got back from LA to visit the girls. Ameneh has left the city. We had basically adopted her up until she shipped off to Maryland. I believe she is currently in Bermuda with her own family. NYC is pretty much emptying of friends for the rest of the summer. Carly is leaving this week, as is her friend Winston; Jon is in Norway, Denise is leaving next Friday, and my friend Jerry will no-doubt leave for school in the next few weeks. Alas, it will be a lonely cosmopolitan city until they all return in September. Miss you, lady. Please be careful and TRY not to piss off any locals. :) <3 Danielle OY VEY!!!! I’m so glad you are ok.
