Back to US

Back to US after 4 weeks.  A lot to do now.  Find a new apartment, move all my possessions from the storage, pick up the cats...  It will be busy few weeks.

Stray cats of Istanbul

Unfortunately there are so many stray cats (and dogs) in Istanbul.  Luckily in most cases they're well taken care of by good people.  You can always spot food and water bowls by the side of streets.

Maiden's Tower

Today my mom and I went to see the Maiden's Tower.  The view from the observation deck is just amazing.  It isn't very tall, but since it has a clear sight, the views are just awesome.  They did a good job with interior decor as well.  Every floor has a painting representing many stories of this ancient tower.
