Ankara, Turkey - Brittany arrived last night after her long trip from Boston to Frankfurt to Ankara. Her flight was a little late so our driver gave Brittany her first true Turkish expereince; the thrill of driving with no speed limits. Our driver is an expereinced ambulance driver and managed to turn a trip usually takes 20 into 9. It is important to note that he was going so fast because he was late for his work meeting.
So Brittany met the Swedes and the Swedes then flew back to Sweden to pursue other hockey opportunities because they couldn't wait any longer for the season or practices to start (been here for 5 weeks). Brittany and I decided to take a trip to the Turkish Riviera since everything is hanging in the air and we have no permanent living accomodations. We will be staying in Bodrum for 5 nights at a little hotel on the water. The timing couldn't have been more perfect because the president and his wife have sold their flat and are moving into a new flat on Monday. The flat they purchased is fully furnished and they needed a place to store their current stuff. So after breakfest, the flat that Brittany and I are sharing (coaches flat) became stuffed wall-to-wall, ceiling-to-ceiling with boxes and furniture.
Still no update as to when the season will start. I will post more when we arrive in Bodrum!
