I haven't felt this way before but I have often heard people say I felt like I belonged there after visiting some place. I did feel just this way in Istanbul, the city we chose to celebrate three years of our marital bliss.
There are many things about the city that have left a deep impression in my heart:
* It's history
* It's vibrant culture - such a brilliant mix of two continents
* It's people - so full of life, so closely knit, so proud of their land, language
* The small little cafes just about everywhere
* The chill in the air and the music of the rains
* The way the city celebrates love
* Turkish tea
* Baked potatoes
* Traditional hammam
* The grand bazaar
* The small flower shops around every nook and corner
I could go on and on but I'll let some of these pictures from my trip do the talking now..
