I haven't posted in so long! This photo is from mid July when Ariane came to visit. We had a fantastic time together. She first arrived in Bodrum, where we spent 2 days. We drove back to Istanbul, stopping in Bursa. Then 3 days touring the sites of Istanbul with perfect weather. Also had a fantastic boat tour and swam in the Bosphorous. This is us at Rumeli Hisari, the first fortress built by the Ottomans in 1452 as they prepared to capture Constantinople. That is the second bridge behind us.
