Feeling Fine

As you can tell I am feeling better!! Yesterday, I took on an adventure to Sariyer, a section of Istanbul in the north, along the river. It is lined with ornate, old wooden houses, in a variety of colors, all belonging at one time to one of Istanbul's rich.
Some of these houses have better battered by the wind and salt water and no longer show the brilliance they once were. To me, they seem to have some mysteries surrounding them, of the lives that were spent within their walls. To restore these buildings would take millions of dollars, so they are left to deteriorate, until the city agrees they can be destroyed.
There is a path along the riverside for pedestrians that extends for miles. It was where I spent my whole day. Finally, feeling energetic again, all I wanted to do was walk in the fresh air. I walked for over three hours, only pausing to snap a photo of a scene that I enjoyed.
Then, the warmth of the day vanished with the sun and the hunger in my stomach hailed the next minibus headed to Taksim Square where I could find some warm gozleme (Turkish crepes filled with spinach and cheese).
