We tried to visit İstanbul Museum of Modern Art but it’s closed on Mondays. This magnificent building sits opposite called Nusretiyr Mosque and was built in 1823-26. They have speakers that look like rocks at the base of the trees piping the most beautiful woodwind music. 🎶

Then to Ephesus ruins. Those mighty Greeks were tenacious engineers. 10,000 BC (12,000 years ago 😳)

The beautiful Greek Orthodox Church centre stage in the main square of Oia village flanked by marble and gazing out to the Aegean Sea. Ευχαριστώ (thanks) to Greece for looking after us so well and Merhaba! (Hello) to Turkey.

We’re closing Saltbush for winter so we can get to be guests for a change. Greece and Turkey here we come! (Thanks to fabulous house/cat sitters!)

Beautiful sunrise this morning.
Temperature was almost balmy and still.
Every morning is so different.

Finally. It feels like an age since last I got to weave and find a rhythm, lost in a movement where time stands still and my mind feels at ease.
