I understand that this video may be funny to only three people in this world (those being the three showcased in the video). But I do love it so.
Why?
It captures the tail end of almost five hilarious days that involved:
- three mosques, one palace and one really old old old church
- two Medusa heads
- one hamam, somewhere around 32 birthday suits (not that paranoid I was counting or anything) and two unappreciated pats (shudder)
- six rides to the airport (but two more than planned)
- one fight with the ceramics seller guy in the Grand Bazaar
- two attempts to find belly dancers
- five or six Magnum bars (or maybe seven or eight)
- two continents and one ferry with one bathroom that left two of us dry-heaving
- four nights up late answering life's questions like, for example, why Anna was not eligible for Massawepie Maids
- nearly neglible amounts of time working (all things considered)
- unmentionable amounts of lira and equivalent amounts of laughing
Why else?
Somehow, for some reason every time I watch the clip, I laugh. And I am reminded that I have a really hilarious, really great family whom I love a whole lot. XOX

I especially liked the singing.
hilarious.
and i just was formally introduced to the magnum bar in israel!!!
YUM-O! i saved the stick for my scrapbook - that's how much i liked it. :)
I love how you guys enjoy each other so much! I miss my Kearl girls! :) I'll be watching for Anna on Broadway!
And what could be better than to be related to all three amazing women in the clip? Tell me again, WHY weren't Uncle David and I invited? (Ask that with a whine in your voice.)
Oh! I cried laughing! And not only at the video! Your summary superbly captures the essense of Istanbul! What a fabulous fabulous trip. We are still eating Turkish Delight--but only because the girls have been distracted by Halloween candy.
And the pictures were a big hit--although I need the rest of yours. :) The kids in Hannah's class were amazed to find out that there are children in Turkey too!
Or maybe 10 or 12 Magnum bars??
I miss the Hiltone Paksa...
Amazing Anna wasn't in SCAPA with talents like that! :) How fun to have Sarah and Anna visiting!
