"Istanbul, not Constantinople" is one of Tim's favorite songs now.
We took advantage of a four day weekend over Easter to visit Kelly, Martin and Megan in Istanbul. Johannes was in Colorado working with his uncle for a school internship type program. We missed him but thoroughly enjoyed his lego. I will never tire of Istanbul, to a large part I'm sure, because I get to see it from the comfort of Kelly's lovely penthouse.
Luke actually tries to make music rather than just pounding on the piano. He tries but doesn't succeed.
Yummy
City life
Markets that even Tim enjoyed seeing.
The view from the balcony.
We bought two small Turkish carpets from this man who couldn't resist giving Tim's cheek a pinch.
The carpet shop was near the Aya Sophia and the Blue Mosque.
The boys liked the ferry ride much more than the carpet shopping and mosque viewing.
They also enjoyed the playground on the island where Kelly and Martin have their summer home.
Really, both of them are too big for these but they had a race nonetheless.
The deck on the island.
Thanks Kelly, Martin, Megan and Johannes! See you soon in Colorado.
