The time with Hannah flew by. What a joy to spend a month with my niece and experience firsthand how she's blossomed into a beautiful young woman with a passion for the environment. Sharing insightfu(yes, she celebrated her 23rd birthday with us) l words of wisdom as a 23 year old with Aleah and Sierra she undeniably left a positive impression on the girls, as well as Mike and I. Memories of yoga in the living room, random dancing (again in the living room, hence our small apartment), coming home to a spa with she and Aleah, and the Hamam with her auntie. Ever had a 300 pound topless woman massage you? Still laughing from that one. I can still hear Hannah's laughter and picture her in the red polka dotted Spanish apron she used to cook her one meal a week. Hannah fully embraced Istanbul, participated as part of the family, and jump-started the Green Teams at MEFIS. She's a mover and shaker....and has a heart wide open. So grateful to have spent this special time together. Here are a few more pics from her trip. Enjoy!!

Thanks for this amazing post It is all true, my time with my family was truly amazing and I really enjoyed every minute of it. I am so grateful for the opportunity they gave me to live in Turkey with them, and I grew to love the city of Istanbul despite all of its madness. I had great pleasure working with the MEFIS school and Aleah and Sierra on being more mindful on their impact to the environment, and these are learning experiences and lessons I will take with me into my future. Thank you Keppler family for the wonderful memories and the loving times, I LOVE AND MISS YOU ALL!
