We docked in the new part of Istanbul, and it was a short
walk over this bridge to the old city
I was amazed at the age of the kids that were selling
goods...cigarettes, no less
As a New Yorker, I'm not usually impressed by other
skylines, but Istanbul offerred a bit of competition with its mosques
and towers
I went to an open rehearsal of one of the professional
national orchestras in Turkey, and was intrigued by the crossing of
eastern and western musical characteristics
