Alex: I am tired. Please do not disturb. I was really excited to see dad. We went on a sleeper train. When I looked out the window, there were lots of houses. It took a while for us to get to Istanbul; we took a ferry too. I saw some other ships, but mostly just water. We went to Europe from Asia. Anyway, now I am in Istanbul. It's a big open city. It's also crowded. The Grand Bazaar is there too. I bought two new shirts and a pants today. We got a lot of new magazines that dad brought too. And Dad also brought fresh clothes that I was happy about. You heard the message up above: do not disturb!
So you weren't in the mood to blog, huh? I appreciate the effort you made to do so in spite of being tired! You guys have seen so much in such a short time. I know you'll enjoy having your dad around for a while...have fun!
