Working Saturday

Saturday, April 6, was a working Saturday for my love. Secretary of State John Kerry came for a visit.  We got to go out and see him the next day, but Saturday was just the boy and I. The weather had been cool to cold to wet, so at the first sight of sun, I took the boy and we headed out to our favorite spot on the Bosphorus. There is a 6 kilometer walk from Yenikoy to Tarabya and we hoofed it up most of the way. We headed back because my back can't do 12 kilometers with a boy on my back and it gets chilly pretty quick up there, being on the water and so close to the Black Sea.

Huber Köşkü - Apparently this used to be (or still possibly is?) a presidential palace. There is another one up the hill, which seems more likely, for security reasons. This one is probably more just for show.

A happy boy and I.

  1. Looks like you and the boy have some great adventures. I hear he was so happy to have you home after your week's absence. Hugs to all.
