I have to make a note about the dogs and cats of Istanbul
They navigate the city of 15 million as strays; perhaps not really, as they are well taken carry of my everyone. You see businessmen come out of offices with bags of pet food and fresh water. They sleep with out fear. It is really sociologically a very interesting cultural tradition.
And expresses the deep sense of humanity with in this increasingly crowed urban landscape.
The parks are being spruced up.
In a city of 15 million green space is in short supply and precious.
Bikes , you do not see often, perhaps a sign of spring.
And yes the cafés are getting ready too, love that astro turf!
