Greetings From Istanbul

Sorry I haven't been posting much. I've been having lots of fun with Ariel. Also, working on my case study.

We've been hanging out and catching up, going to malls and cafes. Yesterday, we went to the touristy area of Sultanahmet so I could enjoy the gorgeous scenery. It was a beautiful summer day, sunny and relatively cool.


I just love the Blue Mosque. The Hagia Sofia is also breathtaking, but for some reason, I can't get enough of its sister.

Then we went to lunch at one of my favorite restaurants in the entire world, Doy Doy's, sitting on its amazing rooftop terrace. The picture above was my view. As usual, the food was excellent, the service attentive, and the prices were low. We said hello to the waiter who has worked there since Ariel started going there 9 years ago -- he remembers us every time we come back.
