Thoughts for Today

This evening I will be in Istanbul and enjoying a stroll along the waters there .
What lies ahead is as yet unknown but for sure it will be enjoyable.
The following words from Aldous Huxley are with me whenever I travel :-

"The traveller's-eye view of men and women is not satisyfying. A man might spend his life in trains and restaurants and know nothing of humanity at the end . To know,one must be an actor as well as a spectator."


Only by Thursday will I know if I share the sentiments of Alphonse de Lamartine when he said :-

"If one had but a single glance to give the world ,one should gaze on Istanbul "


But for now I have much to do .....Miss Vixen has to prepare .
