If only everything could be so simple

Yemek Sepeti is my new best friend. It is a website that lists over 100 restaurants that will deliver food to my apartment door. I just go online, place my order with the restaurant of my choice and within 30 minutes I have food that I didn't have to cook! So on those days that I feel like I couldn't possibly get another Turkish word out of my mouth, I will be calling on my friend Yemek Sepeti.
The days of a $5 large pizza are no more. It cost about $18 for 2 small pizzas and 4 breadsticks. But it sure tasted good!

Not everything is as simple as Yemek Sepeti though. Yesterday we decided to visit an international church that meets on the other side of the water. So at 7:45am we started our journey to make the 9:30 service. It started with a bus ride and then a beautiful 20 minute boat ride. From there we took a train up the hill and then walked the final 10 minutes to the church. The service was great and at the time seemed like it was worth the trip. But by 11am we had a hungry 2 year old with a wet diaper and another 1 1/2 hours to get back home. We grabbed a quick bite on the street and then started our journey home. We walked in our door at 1:15 and all collapsed in bed for a Sunday afternoon nap. All in all it was a good day and a wonderful time of worship, but I think we'll be visiting a church on this side next week. If only Yemek Sepeti could deliver church to my door :)
