Yes, jealous. If you need to know where to get a carpet, I can help you out.

Fresh fish sandwiches by the Galata Bridge on the Bosphorus. Taking the public ferry to the mouth of the Black Sea, stoping on the Asia side, eating freshest seafood ever. Walking through Taxim to Galata Tower (the view is spectacular). Stoping by Said's for varieties of Baklava, washing it down with decent espresso. Taking the tram from Taxim to the Old City.

Istanbul rocks.

So I land in San Jose, Costa Rica this morning and deplane and the gift shop is playing a very Latin version of Istanbul was Constantinople in espanol with Latin horns and everything. Weird...

My honeymoon was in Costa Rica. I remember at one point we stopped in a CD shop in San Jose just to peek. They had one small wall dedicated to Rock and it was full of Elvis CDs, none of which were recognizable. We found some Grateful Dead in the International bin, again, not recognizable covers. We postulated that they were pirated with some crappy arts tossed on the cover.

Costa Rica was amazing. It was like a honeymoon in an Indiana Jones flick.
