I was reminded of our trip to Turkey by my previous blog - and pulled out three old pictures from four years ago ...

The bread seller walks between the traffic, with all the weight of the world (or is that all the weight of the bread?) upon his head.

And the middle of the afternoon is an excellent time for a siesta at the Topkapi Palace.
I *was* writing "The Horse's Mouth" even in those days - and you can still look back to
the October 2004 archive - but that was before I stared adding images and other smart stuff. There are some image links, or if you prefer you can see another image of each of the places visited from these links - to
Venice,
Olympia,
Ephesus,
Istanbul and
Dubrovnik.
