Updated Photos!

Two friends from America - Katie and Tess - visited me in Istanbul (my first American visitors to Istanbul...) and our meanderings together afforded me an opportunity to pad my cache of online photos. Interesting stories for both from both these very nice young ladies - Katie is on a round the world trip as a staff member of "Semester at Sea" (Japan, China, Vietnam, India, Egypt, Turkey, Croatia, Spain) whereas Tess (actually the younger sister of my LR friend, Rachel) is on a hardcore Eastern European backpacking trip - it boggles my mind that she has already visited 22 countries in 22 years! Well, first it boggles, and then it puts to shame a little bit ; )

It was interesting to hear about all the other nations they had been to and how they compare/contrast to Turkey... Istanbul, btw, they both absolutely loved!
