Constantinople

I gets shivers just thinking that I am in Constantinople. I am having flashbacks to history lessons I took as a kid. and books I've read since then. Stories that come to me through the mists of time.

I am on sensory overload of every kind. I love the mosques. The call to prayer reminds me of being a kid, and home. I stumble over history at almost every step. The weather has been fabulous. The food is delicious. And oh, the dessert shops. Why are they in every corner?

Tomorrow we head to Ankara. Capital of the Ottomans. There I go getting chills up my spine again.

Happy Equinox.
