Azure Window

I was bummed to learn the Azure Window rock formation in Malta collapsed. We were lucky enough to visit the island of Gozo in 2007 to see it. The collapse was inevitable but thought it might stick around a little longer.

Reinforces the belief to not wait until tomorrow to experience new things and go see the world!

Istanbul

One of unfortunately too many homeless kitties in Istanbul. This one was taking a break in The Tünel, which is the world's second oldest subway. The Tünel was commissioned by Ottoman sultan Abdülaziz in 1869, meant to help the locals get up the steep hill to the Beyoğlu neighborhood.  It is still in operation today having been renovated in 1971. ist-1-2
