Warming Up

Its been a scorcher here in Istanbul. It didn't break 82 degrees last night and by the time of the Azan (4:40am) the temp was already climbing again. The hot weather makes for beautiful evenings...especially after 10pm. But during the day our apartment starts cooking.
We took a trip up the Bosphorus by boat today to find some relief from the heat. For the next few days we will fall in sync with the locals who are up and out really late while its cooler, and in and down during the heat.
