For the last one year, I was waiting for her coming to Istanbul, impatiently, excitedly.. Finally early this morning, we met up for a breakfast at her staying hotel, Conrad Istanbul in Beşiktaş, European side. Above, frontside of the hotel, I captured today. Still yellow tulips on the left amaze us. I like Conrad because of offering stunning views of the city in the Bosphorus from the roof terrace, something like from paradise!
We, I and Kim (her gift above), talked, laughed, enjoyed, and shared many things from our zones. Just together. Just like two sisters:) She flied to Paris in the afternoon. She and her group, coming from different states in the US, already traveled in many places throughout my country; Istanbul in north to Antalya in south, from Cappadocia in east to Ephesus in west. Oh, a little Seattle (USA) weather covered Istanbul, what a wonderful day to end up my April:)How was your month in a few words? Mine was vivace!
