Turkish delight

My first trip to Istanbul was last year, 1 week, for work...and it ended up being much more fun and special that I was ever expecting...Welcome the unexpected!

So, it was time to return this year...Summer, sun, great company, the Bosphorus and loads of other "turkish delights".

Istanbul is that kind of place where you can find a bit of everything...in Portuguese I'd say: "tem o luxo e tem o lixo", meaning "it has luxury and dirtiness" equally balanced, combined in a enchanting way. 

Surprise on arrival!!! ;)

The apple tea I was taught to love!!!


Colored lights...so beautiful...
The family of amazing ladies!


My little- Dudu










Cherries everyday
For protection

Yummy!!! Addicted to Baklava
The best/ most popular place for Pistachio Kebab- Hamdi. The view is free! ;)








Back to the street...
 
more Baklava. Any turkish friends, send me the recipe please!!!






Tasting everything, we felt like gourmets!





Some fun...

Marina

She arrived today...menina Marina...
The little girl who will change the lives of my dear friends Neto and Flavia...
And I still remember when Neto came to our place and said: "Lari, I met her, the woman of my dreams!", and I said : "really? That's amazing!"...in summary, a huge coincidence, she was my ex sister-in-law! Yes, totally random, we couldn't believe it...after that, we spent New Year's Eve in Punta Del'Este together, we had great chats about live, love, people from Capricorn( hahaha, the 3 of us are...Neto Jan 9th, Flavinha Jan 14th, me Jan 17th) I was one of the bridesmaid in their wedding, they came to visit me in London last year and now, Marina!!! She arrived today and all I wish is I could be there to meet her and give Neto and Flavinha a huge, massive hug!!! Marina, a lovely little baby and one of the most beautiful songs in my playlist, from Dorival Caymmi.

In moments like this there is no way I can avoid questioning what I'm doing here, miles away from the people that matter the most in my life...
Anyway, Marina menina, menina Marina, God bless you and I promise I'll "esmagar" you very very soon!!!

Looking for flight tickets now!!!!



The most "chorao & babao" dad I know, for sure!!!

Neto and I in New York

Flavinha, the sweetest bride
