The echoes of the call to prayer reverberate throughout the city leaving you wıth a weak warm feelıng of piety. The cacophony of taxis honking horns, the haggling of store owners every two feet, vendors on every corner selling every snack you could imagine–side by side wıth edify that have born wıtness to much of the history of the modern world unwind. The fiery sun sets behind the Bosphorous, the great river dividing Asia and Europe, while riding the ferry back to the Asian sıde where I stay after a long day of sightseeıng ın ancient Sultanmet; the cool breeze gıves lıfe after a scorchıng hot summer day.

I do apologize for the long delay; a string of slow computers, an overabundance of castles and Synagogues/Cathedrals, and too many beautiful and kindly Eastern European folk have made it difficult to divvy up time and spend the necessary adequate hours sitting in front of the computer and waiting for all the photos to download on all these historic computers that I’ve been using. Hopefully this photo of new friends Martin and Charlie might begin to make it up to you…
