Best Trip Ever
Okay.
What do i say here?
What even is happening?
Night after night the world is opening to us like a flower.
(well. except last night which was living Hell, on the endless bus - 12 hours from Izmir to Istanbul, then finally, with the lights on through the exhausting suburbs of Istanbul which last night I thought was misery on earth and tonight i think is the most exotic and perfect-for-me place maybe ever...)
Where was I?
I was on the beautiful island of Chios, and memories of it - untarnished with any miserable misundersandings or unfulfillments, wash over me most kindly... what a gem of living we've had! And now... I should sleep. Tomorrow will be a full day. We have been offered a trusting guide through the scarier places of Istanbul...
Perhaps also we will go to Troy.
I don't know.
Today, when I woke, I'd never seen the Cistern of Istanbul - 366 Roman columns underground, yet above water with koi swimming thereabouts in the half-dark- utterly dreamlike -- the columns reflected, suggesting other worlds, almost real, right there.... or the Blue mosque about which i now have a story.... for later.
okay. must sleep.
more soon.
all this diaring not to slight staggering Greece. just here not quite so far from electronics.
big love to all.............the travelling Peg.
