Istanbul: Skipping Goofies

Overall, there's a lot of silliness going on during this vacation, and it is a much-welcomed change from being imprisoned inside the house as I scream at them to hush so I can read/study/write about feminist rhetorical theory and try to get something even anything else productive done for work and they pick at each other and snap and mope about being bored and wanting to have KFC or Pizza Hut delivered and why do they have to take off their 3-day old pajamas and perhaps even bathe and cut their toenails if there's nothing else remotely interesting to do anyway.

To the side of the Blue Mosque is a carpet museum, but it was closed. However, the kids had quite a time skipping down the ramp. 




And this is a park between the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia (you can see it beyond the fountain), which is coming up next.  There's Hannah next to the bench, enjoying the fountain as we stand in the shade.
