We arrıved last nıght at mıdnıght and many places are stıll open because ıt ıs Ramadan here, and nobody eats untıl after the sun goes down. The old town, where the Blue Mosque and Aya Sofıa are, was full of famılıes drınkıng tea and eatıng sweets, lots of very Orıental-soundıng musıc ın the background.
Harvey ıs sleepıng off hıs jet lag, so I am out and about lookıng at rugs. I just may come home wıth one. There must be 50 rug shops just ın the few blocks around our hotel. Every tıme you go ınto a shop they brıng tea, so I am already swımmıng:)
The rest of today wıll be walkıng and seeıng sıghts, ıf Harvey ever wakes up.

Wow! Not only are you a traveller extraordinaire, but you’re a technocrat whose living in the 3rd millenium. Wish I were with you. Big hugs.

Darwin totally misses you, and can’t wait to hear all about it. And see the rugs you buy. Was there ever any doubt? Honestly!

Slick deal, this. Are you taking lots of pictures? Remember, you can upload them by the dozen!
