Don’t call my Name. (Ala-hambra)
Granada’s Alhambra has one of the greatest WOW! factors of almost any historical monument-y thing that we’ve seen so far. You can probably tell that from Andy’s face up there eh?
Topkapi Palace
I have to be honest, I think that by the time we got to Topkapi Palace we were a bit tourist-ed out.

Isanbul III: Hagia Sophia and the Spice Markets
While Andy was enamored by the Blue Mosque, I was even more impressed by the crumbling, eastern-gothic beauty of the Hagia Sophia, which was our next port of call.
Istanbul II: The Blue Mosque, and the Grand Bazaar

Potsdam, meet The Family
My family came to visit last week, and although I had to work Monday and Tuesday, I managed to sneak out early on Wednesday to frolick around the park.

I am pleased to announce the happy frolicking of many many family members in the great city of Berlin. And apparently also that Andy is now Merkel 2.0.
Jewish Museum with Tess
