If you play Free Bird at 11:55:05PM on New Years Eve, you'll go into the new year blasting the best guitar solo of all time
Down distant paths for unmapped miles.
Heads forget but hearts remember:
The art of living knows no bounds.

A Couple Days In Istanbul
We had a two day lay-over in Istanbul Turkey after the Everest base camp trek. With a lot of travel, recovering from Trekking, having the Khumbu Cough, and a head cold, we actually only had one full day to explore Istanbul.
We hope to return someday and stay for a week or two to really see the city and spend more time eating Turkish Delights and drinking Turkish coffee.
