Today's afternoon art class was an excursion to Sabanci museum.  My photo of the Bosphorus and Asian side of Istanbul was taken from outside after we were done looking at Art. 

It was relentlessly hot and sunny, and 60% of the museum was closed for various reasons, so the trip was not as much fun as I had hoped, but I made up for it afterwards by meeting dearest friends Kenan, Gulay, and Maura at Bizim Tepe (Alumni Club adjacent to campus) for a couple of hours catch up, refreshed in an appropriate liquid way for the weather.
