Kurban Bayram, the Holiday of Sacrifice in Turkey (based on the story of Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his child), provided an unexpected opportunity for an impromptu trip home last week. The reason for my trip was unfortunate: my grandmother is in the hospital after a head injury, but is getting better every day; but the trip was a welcome chance to meet a couple of the babies 
that have been born since my departure (congratulations Stella, Seth, Jason and Erica!)and to see some of my family and friends just before Christmas. 
I had planned on going to Virginia to see my best friend and my Goddaughter Chloe, but obviously family comes first and I'm glad I was able to go see my Grandma Page even if she doesn't remember me being there!
I got my fill of Christmas cheer and literally brought home the bacon; it costs about $100 a kilo here!
Merry Christmas everyone. Sorry if I didn't get a chance to see you all, but I'm sure you understand that my visit was too brief to include every single person I wanted to see!
