I haven't really felt like writing a lot about Istanbul since I wrote so much about Istanbul when I lived here before (see http://www.tamia.org/istanbul ). We've basically spent most of our time catching up with friends, running errands (we now both have a full set of socks without any holes!), researching Central Asia and getting visas, wandering around, and spending an obscene amount of time stuck in traffic getting from one place to another. Rowshan, however, has been taking a lot of photos so we figured it would be good if we just posted an online photo album with photos and captions for your viewing pleasure.
