heat
summer is well on its way here in istanbul... walking the 10 minute walk up siraselviler caddesi to the metro makes me break a sweat; not because it's far (it's not) but because it is hot, hot, hot outside! the new granite on the sidewalks (see taksim photo) absorbs and holds the heat, so it's like walking on the surface of the sun. then, after entering the metro station, i'm never sure if they will have turned on the A/C underground or not. if it's on, no problem. if it's not, it's like entering the bowels of hell! i feel like i'm slowly being cooked during the 10-minute ride to sisl.
ding. i'm done!
one of the best things about istanbul in the summer is the terrace restaurant (or terrace cafe, bar, club, tea garden, whatever). turks love a terrace and so do i! there is nothing better than sitting outside, drinking a coffee (or tea), and watching the sun set.

Hi Camille! I am in Copper Mountain awaiting a class on digital photo stories. You could teach it! The weather here is delightful. Took the ski lift to 12,000 ft yesterday and had lunch! Love you...mom
Yes indeed, summer has arrived in Istanbul! My day revolves around looking forward to cooling off and watching the sun go down from our balcony in the late evening(we are in the Maslak/Seriyer area with a great view of the Levent Skyline!
Today...Claymation!!!!!!!! I'm on a Mac!!! Been on a Mac a couple of times. We're going to make an iMovie...how much fun is that?
