Visits, visits, visits

Okay. So it's been a while and I should really go to sleep but here is just the slightest of recaps with more detail to follow soon. In the last two weeks: Mary and Lydia came to visit from Edinburgh and highlights included plenty of culinary treats, city whimsies, and lots and lots of walking. Work has been going along really well and just as I was getting really in the swing of things, spring break snuck up on me and I was off to Istanbul to visit another good friend, Joey, studying there for the semester. Unsurprisingly, highlights in Istanbul included culinary treats, lots of sites and walking and people watching and soaking in the amazing city. Then this weekend yet another Mac friend, Jon, was in town doing a bit of UK touring on his spring break from studying in Salamanca, Spain. We showed off the Belfast sites, rode the Wheel of Belfast (London Eye for beginners one could say), ate some free stew, and tried in vain to find Van Morrison's childhood home in East Belfast...

All in all it's been a jam-packed few weeks and I've really enjoyed exploring more of Belfast with Mac friends and exploring a completely different, wonderful Istanbul.

More soon, hope you're all well!
