The Last Hurrah — Istanbul

Leave a reply

Wow. What a fantastic experience. We decided to take one last voyage before heading into the the baby zone (and even needed a note from the doctor for Chika to fly!) But it was worth it. We haven’t taken a trip alone since Taiwan in the summer, and Istanbul did the trick. We had a great hotel, a great local guide (thanks Huseyin!), and an incredible city full of great history and great food. I can only dream about our next trip for a while.

Xmas Market at Charlottenburg Schloss (aka Kai’s First Road Test)

Leave a reply

It turns out that Xmas day in Berlin isn’t some ghost town, and in fact we couldn’t even fit in all the things we wanted to do.  Call us last minute, but we did finally make it to the Xmas market finally today, and we discovered Kai’s shared passion for amusements.  It was a struggle pulling him away from the rides.
