First off, yes, the dates on the title of this blog post are correct. We spent 4 wonderful days in Istanbul as a stop over on our way back to the US when leaving Tsamaya in the water in Fethiye, Turkey.

Turkey to JFK
OMG! What a wonderful trip with so many memories! And love your photos...Istanbul looks like a wonderful place to visit and with so much history. "slow food" is the best way to taste what a city has to offer; love window shopping wherever we go. Thanks so so much for sharing. Wish you both good health and hope you get back to Tsamaya soon!!

I'm staying tuned...
I enjoyed reading about the ceremonial aspects of carpet buying. It reminded me of our ceremonies in Istanbul, Bukhara, Tunis, etc. Our planned trip to Edinburgh in late August deferred another year after United cancelled our flights.

Now I'm planning to do other trips on our list, but her list is slim to none. I'm hoping she will get her travel spirit back.
