Exhausted
October 14, 2023
OK,we’re out of practice in the art of traveling and not taking into account our ever increasingly fragility (!).
We set out for a day of exploring the nooks and crannies of Istanbul. We quickly got bogged down in the minituae of public transport bureaucracy. Ever tried reading Turkish, let alone instructions on buying a pass? It’s not easy.
Great public transportation, though and relatively inexpensive – about $1.50/ride, short or long.
Not taking many photos but here are a few from the yesterdays wanderings. The first two are from a tour through the harem at the Topkapi Palace:
Photogaphy is difficult in a place like this as the number of people is overwhelming and difficult to work around.
That was the day…

Thanks for the update- sorry not to have whatsapp working yet … I hope to work on it tomorrow… dog-sitting Jen & Rob’s new Great Dane today… Cooper died just about a week ago and Ola is his 2 year old replacement. She’s lovely!
Catch you later … safe & happy travels!

What is life without a challenge or two?!? And I would LOVE to have one of those beautiful decorative tiles up in that roof overhang. Please be careful fetching it for me tho because the Turks come down VERY hard on acts of vandalism.
