The Blue House near the Blue Mosque




I know very confusing.. there is a blue house called the Blue House beside the Blue Mosque. Wow... You can eat there and have a delightful view while dining on Turkish cuisine. We had a great dinner now that the whole crew is here where we pondered one of life's questions- "What is the greatest thing you hope to do in your lifetime?" We always ask a question and go around the table, where each person gets a chance to answer- this is always fun and insightful. Everyone has very high goals and none of us are currently achieving any of them- especially Murph who would like to build other people's confidence- although after his response he continued to mock me. He needs a lot more training. Did I mention Dave and Tim (Murph) have been putting Chan and I through "training" which started in Greece. We are not very amenable to this training and more so write off their witty banter but now it is Murph's turn. :) Just kidding a little- Murph is doing a great job of building my confidence too and I have to admit I like his mockery a tiddle. Highlights to this evening were the view- beautiful and very blue of course, as well as the tiny elevator you take to get to the top. Only 3 people can ride and here you can see a shot of what goes on when they close the door!

You guys are crazy! I am looking at the big group shot and wishing I was in it. Gotta love those Murph questions.

The one thing I would do in my lifetime is make up songs that make people laugh wherever they may be.

"It's blue, and it's mosque-shaped...

That's why they call it the Blue Mosque!"

Hope you guys are having so much fun. Happy 4th of July!

i've already done the one thing i want to do--and that's see tim dance in a speedo.

so i guess what i'm trying to say is that my life is pretty much meaningless from here on out.
