THE GOLDEN HORN
Todat we are going to explore the shores of the Golden Horn, sit in its coffee houses and delve into a concealed sidestreet to drink water from an old fontain.
We will climb to the top of even the steepest hills to capture unforgettable views.
Locked doors will open at our insistent knock.
We will chat with the architect who is restoring an old synagogue.
We will light a candle at ancient sacred springs below Byzantine churhes.
We will paye homage to mosques the world passes by unheeding.
We will  befriend urchins playing in the shadow of the city walls.
Our imagination will be fired by stories of buildings and people, what was end what is.
We will cross bridges from now to then...
