Okay, so I didn't quite make my regularly scheduled weekly blog  my bad. I had  a very tough week last week. I worked an astounding 77 hours last week. To say the least work was/is a bit hectic. I am now working form 0000-1230 four on and three off. I am excited to start this shift at the same time not so much. Today will be my first day starting this shift and I can't sleep. Changing schedules so abruptly is ruining my sleep cycle. One interesting thing that happened last week is that the Turkish government was concerned for our safety (due to protesters... that weren't there) and we were supposed to caravan to work with military support but we didn't. We ended up not seeing them and drove to work in our seven vehicle caravan. It isn't as exciting is you would think. On the way down we did have some escorts, unfortunately they drive the speed limit which does not exceed 70 km/h. That is really crappy because well we normally travel at the speed of 120 km/h. That just meant it took forever to get down the hill. One bit of exciting news is that we can now get packages and not just letters. That makes me happy, I can now amazon it up hahah. Something like that anyways but probably not to much. Later tonight I will post a video and some more pictures of the site. I hope to get some pictures out in town this weekend. I am thinking about going to Bucharest for for the new years.  We shall see. Today/tomorrow I will get to see my first sunrise on the hill. I'll put up some interesting pictures of the hard earned government money too.
