Hello friends,
this morning, Eduardo and Peter went to the bank to fix some things and expenses, then they went for chai and sweets in a beautiful place.
We talked for a long time about issues relating to the monograph, of Silo and other things we are interested in and we inspired ourselves very much. After we went to Babil Café, where, according to Yüksel and Aylin, apparently, it would be possible to do a book presentation. It is a very lovely place, very quiet and with lots of pictures of writers on the wall. We liked it and continued talking for a while longer. Tomorrow we will go back with Yüksel and talk to the owner.
Arriving home, Mehtap called announcing that Yüksel would take us tomorrow to her office, to eat together. Peter called Saniye, the Dutch speaking Turkish woman, and they agreed to meet tomorrow at 16:00 in Kizilay.
Later, Altug called and Eduardo went to Kizilay to meet him, together with Yusuf, Yusuf’s uncle, Suleyman, and two young girl friends who speak Spanish, Gülsen and Danila. Peter stayed home, because, in the meantime, Ümit had called to say he was coming over. The company of someone who asks for leave from his job at the airport to see you is very special. After an hour Eduardo, Yusuf, Suleiman and Isan arrived, and then Yüksel. So the kitchen was full and everone having tea.
Suleyman wanted to speak German with Peter and in general we spent a good time together. They left at about 20:30 and we stayed Yüksel, Eduardo, Ümit and Peter eating something together and having more chai. Everything was relaxed and pleasant. Ümit was very happy and said he would get organized so that we could see more of each other in the next days.
Yüksel had bought a beautiful book about Pompei, with lots of pictures and drawings, overlapping which showed how the buildings were originally, squares and others.
So this was a day of different meetings with friends, all taking place in a very good human atmosphere.
A big hug to all,
Eduardo, Yüksel, Ümit, Yusuf, Altug, Gülsen, Damla and Peter
