Ultimate!

The "field" in Ortaköy

One day Alex and I were walking across campus and we saw some guys tossing a frisbee. This was the first time I'd seen a frisbee in over 6 months. We talked to them and ended up on the St. Patricks' Day saturday afternoon, after visiting the organic market in Sisli, at a dirt field just to the left of the mosque in Ortaköy under the first bridge.

A group of mostly foreigners - young teachers from the international school, a former marine, a church artist, students, Germans, Americans, Irish, Turks - play ultimate frisbee every saturday. So we joined them for a riotous three hours of awesome ultimate. It was the first sunny day in weeks which added to the joy of running around outside, despite my dearth of skill with a frisbee.
