Hoşça Kal Uskudar

we are moving again. our friend john is returning and for some reason wants his house back. i will be sad to leave our beloved bakery where they make the best fresh simit, my favorite breakfast place that makes the spinach pastries and apple cookies, my favorite produce guy who would clean the mushrooms for me, and that oh so killer view. but i am excited to move to our new place back on the european side located in that galata/tunel area off the istiklal. it's a little more lively and somehow we have lucked into another great top floor apartment with an amazing view. and when i'm jonesing for a fresh simit, i'll just hop on a ferry and visit my friend john.

we'll miss you uskudar apartment!
