KUZGUNCUK WEDDING CRASHER
USKUDAR DISTRICT, ASIAN SIDE OF BOSPHORUS
Istanbul, Turkey: felt safe as in my own bed, but with better random scenery to photograph.

RIP JOSE FERNANDEZ
HE WAS MIAMI -- A hardworking immigrant and full of energy, joy and love of family
The Miami Marlins should donate proceeds of all sales of Jose Fernandez
jerseys and memorabilia to a trust fund for his unborn child.
The team owner should match that amount and set up an easy way for fans to donate funds for the exclusive use of that child who will never meet his/her father.
Call it the #16 Foundation.
Perhaps, if his child is well taken care of, the #16 foundation could fund the education, health care and well being of the tens of thousands of other Miami immigrant children.
Help these children who, like Jose did, dream each night of becoming the best they can be at their chosen profession and sharing their skills with the rest of us who proudly call Miami home.
RIP Jose.

HORSE DRAWN CARRIAGE BÜYÜKADA
PRINCES ISLANDS (ADALAR)
A great day trip across the Bosphorus, through the Sea of Marmara and off the coast of the Asian side of Istanbul, Turkey.

BALIK EKMEK (FISH SANDWICH)
ISTANBUL, TURKEY
Brightly-lit boats grill up thousands of fish sandwiches for customers seeking inexpensive (about $3 USD) eats on the Golden Horn in Eminonu next to the Galata Bridge (where the fish restaurants are much more expensive and touristy.)

NEVIZADE SOKAK, BEYOĞLU, ISTANBUL
JUST OFF OF ISTIKLAL CADDESI
Near Balık Pazarı, this is a street of meyhanes serving mezes and more.
It has a bit of an El Born Bario Barcelona or Faubourg Marigny New Orleans vibe.

GALATA, ACROSS THE GOLDEN HORN
VIEWED FROM THE MOSQUE OF SULTAN SULEYMAN THE MAGNIFICENT
Sadly, modern buildings to the north mar the old world skyline of Galata.
At least the modern buildings are relegated to farther flung spots on the European and Asian parts of Istanbul, so they do not mar the Old Town structures that date to Byzantine and Ottoman times.

SUNNY SEPTEMBER DAY ON THE SHORE OF THE GOLDEN HORN
ISTANBUL, TURKEY
On the waterfront, not far from the ancient streets of Fener and Balat, these two friends enjoyed the late afternoon sun next to the waves of the Golden Horn in Istanbul.
