Istanbul. From 7 hours in the Future...





Just a few photos from the past two days. I have been walking everywhere. Across the Golden Horn and through the Grand Bazaar. Ate a fish sandwich right off the peer. Watched people pray in the Blue Mosque and squeezed past the protesters in Taksim square. And caught a glimpse of Asia.

The city is beautful. Old. Congested. It pulsates with people at night. It is wide awake at 2 am (and beyond), retail shops, restaurants, street vendors...it's unreal. 

The internet does not work well from our room, so I am writing this from the lobby. More photos to come...
