Where the spirit leads the feet will follow.
Down distant paths for unmapped miles.
Heads forget but hearts remember:
The art of living knows no bounds.

Putting this here until I can find a better place to put it...

This has been a bucket list item for over 40 years. ✓

A Couple Days In Istanbul

We had a two day lay-over in Istanbul Turkey after the Everest base camp trek. With a lot of travel, recovering from Trekking, having the Khumbu Cough, and a head cold, we actually only had one full day to explore Istanbul.
 
We hope to return someday and stay for a week or two to really see the city and spend more time eating Turkish Delights and drinking Turkish coffee.
