Istanbul, Day 7

It's time to kick it into high gear today because we're heading for an island.  There are no motorized vehicles allowed on this island.  That's going to be pleasant.  I had a slight case of crowdaphobia yesterday, which involved a car almost killing me.  No big deal, I lived to tell the tale.

Before I got the crowdaphobia, we went in 2 modern art museums.  Loved them both.  I have 2 new fave fascinating artists:  Erol Akyavas and Gulsun Karamustafa.  I also ate a kumpir for lunch, which hit the spot.  It's a potato.

Turns out I didn't see a hedgehog...I saw a groundhog. Potato potato I say.

I thought that would have been odd since I don't think they live in North America. I'm sure you agree that hedgehogs are way cuter than ground hogs.

Great day today on Buyudaka Island. We rode bikes. Peter and I talked about how much you would have enjoyed it.

The Time in Paris

 As usual Paris doesn't disappoint.  Old stuff, new stuff, it's all jumbled up with wow everywhere you look. We loved the Henry Tayl...
