Turbans and Headscarfs

Even though we've been in Istanbul for three days now, the many meetings, cultural events, culinary activities, and (for some) computer troubleshooting issues have hindered the attempts at blogging thus far. For avid readers back in the States, I just wanted to offer the following photos on how life in Turkey has affected the dress and behavior of Grinnell's female faculty members. More humorous and witty posts by our illustrious leader are sure to follow in the coming days.
