Saffron Bolu part I

We normally get out of our city for the week between Christmas and New Years, and then sometimes again over our Spring Break for a few days. This week we had the entire week off of school unexpectedly due to the swine flu outbreak in our city. We home schooled all week, and then on Friday Campbell Clansman surprised us with the idea of driving out of the city for a day trip.

We had never been to Saffron Bolu, but it is just a little over 3 hours away for us by car. What an amazing place! If you come see us, we'll take you there. Hopefully you don't mind my travel logs. There was just so much history and culture there, I kept snapping pictures. So, let this begin my several day snapshot journal of our time...

The streets are all cobblestone. The houses are made differently. Timber is readily available there, so basic cross-structures are made from beams, then filled in with cement bricks.

Quaint is an understatement for this town! We LOVED it!

Was that all of Part I???? :)) It was so short!! [Not that you have anything else to do . . . Ha]

Okay . . We'll wait on the next installment. Patience is a virtue. :)

Lately I feel glued to this computer so anything pleasant to look at is a welcomed break.

Thanks!

P. S. Dave may have a job. They company is doing a background check on him now!! Yeah!!! They don't do that until they decide they would like to hire you! Double yeah!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Lord! At the very least, it is encouragement for Dave. The job market is SO dried up right.
