Sunset Vista – this title sounds like a neighborhood in SOCAL!

Some views from a friend’s balcony in Oran, which is just outside the city.  We’ve had glorious weather in Ankara the last few days.  Although warm in the day, the evenings have been nice and cool.  Tonight it even rained after sunset, and on a quick walk later we had the glorious smell of post-rain in the high desert.

So, I’ve spent much of today doing paperwork and getting the various badges and documentation I need  to get around Ankara and Turkey as a resident.  I’ve also done a lot of research for househunting, and tomorrow I will go and look at more places.  I’m torn between living in the city and living in the suburbs, where city access is still pretty easy.  Since I still don’t know where I’ll be going to school, the neighborhood I choose is really a crap shoot.  As usual, I think ultimately I’ll end up choosing whatever place just fells right.
