26° in İstanbul

Bosphorus and Me!According to Google’s weather service, it’s only 26° (79F), but it feels a whole hell of a lot warmer to me.

I spent today wandering aimlessly around the city, crossing to Asia, coming back to Europe, and looking at whatever was around me.

There was a lot to digest. It’s not a completely foreign culture to me, but the activity and vibrancy reminds me more of Guadalajara or Yerevan than any place in Europe I’ve been lately. The streets are constantly filled with people, hustling about their business, which often consists of hustling goods that I have no interest in buying.

Meanwhile, in the parks, people were soaking up the shade and having picnics, whilst on the quays young men were swimming.

Diving!

    Looks lovely. And sweaty.

  • Cute picture Adam! You look relaxed — and with that beautiful blue water and blue sky…

    I like the top picture. I like the bottom picture. Now I want to see a picture of the two combined: Adam with his shirt off diving gracefully from a quay.

  • @MT: It’s fantastic! unfortunately I am sweating like a pig.

    @Scott: Thanks!

    @Reko:, Thanks… there will be no combination though.

    I’m fairly certain that TQE is not a big fan of getting his ears wet.

    The boyfriend is sorry for being lame and not replying to you. Just wanted to let you know. He’s forgetful and not good with emails. 🙁

  • @disenchanted: If my ears didn’t hurt after swimming, for weeks, I would get my ears wet… but alas, they hurt, so I don’t

    @koko: Bad Boy.
