Just Another Sunday

It was beautiful day in Instanbul.  Terry and I started out by listening to our Pastor back home -- I loved watching the video of the song service and seeing everyone.  Having to pull myself away to finish getting ready to leave for church.  Jumping into a taxi, heading to Taxsim -- the traffic was horrible.  We got to church just in time --!   Today being the first Sunday of the month, they had a lunch fellowship.  Sounds wonderful and it always is, however, to get to where we have lunch is up five flights of stairs!  I have to rest at 3 and I really do appreciate AIR!  After lunch, I went out on the balcony and took a few pics. 
This is typical housing in Istanbul.  I am facing the North, looking toward the direction of our house.  That is the Bosporus, South of the first bridge. 

The view of the mouth of the Bosporus -- This is such a fascinating place!
 After lunch after descending from the "Upper Room" we hit the street to see this guy playing the guitar.  He has a huge crowd and looked very intense.  He was playing a style of "Spanish Guitar" --

We stopped to check it out -- he had a big crowd -- Even Terry was getting out his cell phone to snap a picture.  I couldn't believe what I was seeing when I got close enough to take a few pictures --

Now that is talent!
Yes, he was on a unicycle!  He did such a fantastic job.  Really, we see street performers all the time here but this guy was the best. 
Terry and I ended up the afternoon with a movie -- "Tron" -- it was the only one offered in English so that narrows down the selection process.  I liked it, very allegorical.  Just another movie to prove that there is nothing new under the sun! 
Thanks for stopping by -- Sheryl
