Images of the Trip to Turkey and Azerbaijan (1 of 10)

Since all my entries during the trip were from internet cafes or hotel lobbies, I decided it would be best not to add visual images until after the trip's conclusion.
I am starting those now, and I begin with the horse buggies on Buyukada, the largest of the four Princess Islands off the coast of Istanbul.







The islands are known as an area where the city's ethnic minorities gather during the summertime. The ethnic minorities of Istanbul include Jews, Greeks and Armenians.
Though my family is Turkish, it is the influence of the other cultures on Buyukada which have made the place unique for all of us who love the island so dearly.
