Hakan came over yesterday and spent the night. He has "moved to Germany" but is currently living at the hotel and preparing for the new season where he runs the water sports aspect of the hotel. His wife German-Turkish wife and their two boys are in Germany now, receiving good social services from the government until they can fully resettle there. They sold, gave away, or store all of their things. They must have outfitted a small country with their kids' toys. Hakan brought some things to the summer home - we currently have a windsurf sitting on our third floor balcony. And he intended on shipping some things too - Batuhan's bed being one of them - until he realized how expensive it would be to ship a bed. The reason he was going to ship the bed was because it was a very expensive and pretty sweet bed. It's frame is racing car - outfitted with light up wheels and headlights and an "alarm" that beeps on, gives an engine starting sound, and a take off sound. The rooms are too small for such a contraption - and I wanted bunk beds - but Hakan and Tolga convinced me to se it up for now in the small bedroom.
Teoman and Tomris have been playing on it ALL day. Playing run-over Babanne. Picking each other up. Going to do some work. Going on trips. It has kept them occupied for hours already - it will be pretty great when the actually start sleeping in it too.
