We looked at mountains until dawn, and then when dawn came, it was too pretty for me - there was pink and blue and gold, in the sky, and on icy places, brilliant pink and gold flashes, and the snow was colored too, and I said," Oh," and sighed; and each moment was more beautiful than the one before; and I said, " I love you, Momma." Then I fell asleep in her arms.
That was happiness then.

istambul is truly one of the sexiest city in the world: it's a shame it's not as known as paris or rome.

Thanks for accommodating my wish, Galatia. Is that the Seraglio mentioned in one of Mozart's musical compositions? Istanbul is one of the gems of the world.
