Journal Entry:

Last night I made the mistake of asking someoe at the embassy party if it ever snowed in Ankara. This morning it's dumping the stuff. I have to waste time until two when I can pick up my visa. Spent the morning lounging around the hotel, went and had some tea and read, and came here to check my email. Not sure where I'm going to end up tonight, I'm sceptacal of being able to catch a bus to Antakaya (near the Syrian border), so I'll probably end up someplace between here and there, maybe back in Cappadocia (I wouldn't mind seeing it in the snow...)

I got the visa (finally)! I only had to wait outside in the dumping snow for 40 minutes for the embassy worker to call my name. Caught a direct bus to Antakya. Got a room at the hotel where the Laura, Jeanne, and Rachel are staying at a little after 2am.
