Wendy and Adrienne

Wendy and I have been friends and coworkers for 8 years. We started working at the same company 3 weeks apart from each other, so we became eligible to take a 2 month sabbatical at the same time.

Blue Mosque

Here is a picture of the Blue Mosque, taken our first full day in Istanbul. Our hotel was just around the corner from it. We are standing at the Hagia Sophia and looking towards the mosque.

We're also using this as our portait on the site--Wendy and Adrienne at the Genoese Castle on the Asian side of Istanbul.

Parlor at Kybele Cafe

We stopped here for cappuccino after a long day of sight seeing. This cafe and hotel is covered in lamps made of recycled glass. And yes, we bought a few.

Dinner and goofiness

Adrienne and Wendy at Cennat having dinner. They made us wear these goofy fez hats with veils, but everyone else was doing it so we didn't look too ridiculous. We sat on cushions on the floor and had some amazing food that the cooks dropped down on trays from a hole in the ceiling.

Nice Hats!
Sorry, but you look goofy to me. Hey, who's taking these pictures of you two, anyway? I guess after your adventures in Moldova, eating food dropped from a hole in the ceiling probably seems rather ho-hum to you. Can't wait to see and hear more about your travels. We miss you!
