On Sunday, Alex and I met our friends Mehmet and Şeyma at Yıldız Parkı, which is a beautiful spot for wedding photos apparently. How we managed to take our photos without 5 bridal parties in each shot still amazes me. Mehmet and Şeyma spent just over a year in Tucson, where we met, of course. So, it was quite nice to have a reunion in their city.
Getting to the general area of the park was surprisingly easy (2 minibuses from Sarıyer to Beşiktaş in just an hour), but finding the actual entrance to the park was not so easy. Here's the wall that taunted us for a good 20 minutes.
Finally inside the wall!
This lonely chair was sitting in front of an abandoned greenhouse.

We walked around the park after breakfast (eaten on the patio, not the fancy room above) and enjoyed the end of summer weather. It was a great break from the urban crush...
