a little taste of Istanbul

Istanbul is mind-blowingly





crowded,



colorful,


 

and delicious.






I was moved by the sheer breadth of its history,

 

the friendliness of its people,

 
 

and the depictions of Christian and Muslim religions colliding.

 

I've never been a history buff, but Istanbul changed me a little and now I am more interested in history than ever.


Change is good, right?

Stay tuned for more about Istanbul. There's so much to tell. And more to show.

    WOW!!!! The most remarkable place, so far on the long list of places my little Marco Poloett has explored. From Grover, Wy.(still my favorite place on "the list") to the Bridge Between Europe and Asia. What's next, St. Petersburg?
