Türkiye (November, 2019) – We skirted around Istanbul for 36  hours between flights, after a month in Central Asia. The short sejour clearly wasn't enough time to see the city, or overindulge in the culinary delights. We did however have a great time meandering around some of the historical Ottoman sites. We passed the beautiful Fountain of Ahmed III several times, each time it had a different feel and a different pull due to the reflections of light.
