Hi Briget's friends in America:
From Ece: My name is Ece and I live in Istanbul. What are you doing? I am seven years old. How old are you? Today I go to swimming pool at summer house by the sea. I have dark brown eyes and black hair. I have a big mouth :-) Yesterday was my friend's birthday party. My friend's name is Mina. I love ice cream too much! I love flowers. I like to color in the coloring book.
From Defne: I love butterflies. I love coloring and drawing. I love to sleep a lot! I like strawberries. I love dogs. I like cats. I like cherries. I am five years old. I love balls. I like to swing. Yesterday a baby rabbit come her name is White-Black, because she is white and black.
Thanks to Mert and Husnu for the free all-day boat trip on the Bosphorus to the Black sea!

Hello Ece and Defne,
Very nice to meet you both and I enjoyed reading about the things you like and like to do.
I'm a grandmother and have two granddaughters ages 10 and 8.
Hello, Ece and Defne-
It is wonderful to read your post and I hope to learn more about you. I have a 13 year old daughter, Marina, and a 16 year old daughter, Amanda. We live in Massachusetts.
I would love to visit your fascinating country someday. I have been to Greece several years ago--that's as close as I have gotten.
Hope you have lots of wonderful adventures with Briget this summer and learn lots of English.

Hello!
It is very nice to meet you, Ece and Defne. My name is JoLiz. I am older than you both, even added together.
I live on an island in Washington state in the U.S.A. I like to garden and cook. I also like to hike in the woods. I have two cats.
I hope you both have fun with Bridget this summer. I look forward to reading about your adventures.
Hi Ece and Defne! I love your names :D They are very pretty, just like both of you.
I have one daughter - she's in her 20s now, but I remember when she was your ages just like it was yesterday.
I live with my husband and 5 cats in the desert in New Mexico, which is in the southwestern part of the United States.
Your country looks very beautiful, and I'm so glad that you are sharing it with us. I hope you have a great summer with Briget, and I too can't wait to read about your further adventures. Or just your every day life. It was so nice to meet you both!

Hello Ece and Defne -
It is very nice to meet both of you! I hope you get more opportunities this summer to tell us about yourselves.
Briget is my sister and I am sure you will fun with her. I also have a daughter named Adrienne who is 12. We live in Pennsylvania and have four pets: a dog, a cat, a lizard, and a bug.
Take care,
Sarah
HAHAHA!! Sarah - a BUG?? They just learned that word, so they laughed that you have a pet bug!
Defne went to sleep but I read the "letters" to them and Ece has a response. She says: (And I write exactly what she says) Thank you for letters. Some day I will go US, maybe I SEE you! Do come to Istanbul you love! Yesterday was tooooooo hot. My dad got ice cream for....them? No, us. I LOVE ice cream. Briget taught us "I scream you scream we all scream for ice cream! It is funny, is it? Goodbye.
