Late August
Its late August. Where did the time go? A moment ago it was June. As we prepare to travel to the the USA for a month or so, my thoughts focus on the experiences of living and dancing in Istanbul.

Thoughts on the new year, so far…
Now at the end of January after a week of 90 plus degree heat and then another week of continual rain, the days are cooler. Still in the evening the humidity returns and air conditioning is a must to get to sleep. In my personal life what a crazy couple of weeks it has been!!!AContinue reading “Thoughts on the new year, so far…”
Muy Calor
With the city reaching a record temp of 99 and a friend visiting me from Istanbul, the need for cooler weather and maybe being on the water was necessary. As some of you might know, my photography is on Instagram (Instagram.com/ruth.offen) and maybe you are following me. Thank you! It was on Instagram that IContinue reading “Muy Calor”
