From here to there and back again

While we were in Istanbul the only time that we had available for ourselves
(when we weren't working) was in the evening, which doesn't always make
for the best picture opportunities. When we return in February I am making sure
that we have at least a day or two to visit the spice market and the
bazaar. This trip was too busy to fit it in, but there will be a next time!

I slept for 12 hours straight the other night and could have slept more if I wasn't doing a mini marathon run with the kids the next day. To say I was tired is an understatement. I am not usually one to sleep in much less sleep more than 7/8 hours a night, so I must really have needed some sleep. I think between jet lag, being up late working/eating and early morning call to prayer, that is broadcast via loudspeaker throughout the city at 6am, I didn't get quite the usually amount I am used to and it made for a very unhappy Shannon. Almost caught up now...just in time for the next phase of the whirlwind trip. It involves a ferry, an island and a moor. Plus I believe that rain is guaranteed so bring on the Hunters!
