What a day!

Well this morning we got up and went to Bebek again for a run, walk and Starbuck's. After this we went home and Billy called a friend. He said he was going to see the air show that was at 2pm. So we thought that would be fun so we cleaned up and headed out again. The traffic getting there was horrible! We sat in traffic a long long time and then couldn't find a place to park. Well we found our friends but there was no place to park so we just kept driving. By the time we could have parked we had passed up our friends and it would have taken about 20 min at least to get back to them so we just decided not to go to the air show. People were everywhere! So we just drove not knowing where we were at. Billy asked me at one point -"do you know where we're are?" I said no, do you? "oh yeah I've been here once." and then five minutes later he said "I have no idea where we're at." He lied. It was funny, we just laughed. Finally we came to a road we recognized and got on it. That led us toward Asia so we decided to go to one of our favorite restaurants - Leonardo's. This place has pork, that's why we like it so much! Although they tried to pass off their sucuk for pork sausage and let me tell you it is not the same thing. That was disappointing but the rest was really good. Then after an early dinner we decided to stop by IKEA and bought a couple of pilllows. Then we came home. It was quite a day but we had a great time wandering from place to place!

Here are a few pictures of things we saw today...

A man on the side of the road with his scales...just waiting for someone to come by and pay him to get weighed! Sounds like something at the county fair.

That is the VERY FIRST picture of Miss Bailey where I think she might look anything like her sweet mama. Don't get me wrong, she still looks just like Billy . . . . but Liz, there might be hope!
