The High-Rent District657 viewsWe were assured that property values along the Bosphorus were some of the highest in the world. I don't doubt it, but one wonders about the consequences of sea-level rise for these elegant waterfront properties.
NapaValley-9818.jpg
CIA657 viewsNo, not the CIA which is headquartered in Langley, Virginia. This is the Culinary Institute of America, which has (or used to have) a campus in New Haven, Connecticut as well.

Balcony657 viewsThe north wing of Sarah and Mike's house. I really like the balcony, which provides a second-floor exit as well as a sun deck, and overhangs the first floor so as to provide cover for a person exiting on the first floor.

Looking back657 viewsContinuing west on North 36th Street, we arrived at its intersection with Fremont Place and Evanston Avenue, whereupon I turned around and shot this picture of the pleasant shady way we had taken.

The Amphitheater at Side656 viewsNot as large or well preserved as the Aspendos Theater, but far better placed to view the eclipse!

Courtyard at Hellenistic Gate656 viewsThe horseshoe-shaped courtyard at the back of the Hellenistic Gate was redesigned in 121 AD by Plancia Magna, daughter of the governor and priestess of Artemis, who decorated it with inscripitions and statues to honor the emperors and their relatives.
