abra cadabra.

..........................................................................................................................................................
here at the summer camp in istanbul, we have officially finished the first session! this past weekend, my roommates and i took it very easy. we enjoyed a nice late breakfast at the adorable café abra cadabra. beautiful décor, fantastic looking menus (it sounds silly to admit, but that's sort of a big deal for me), fantastic view of the bosphorus, and delicious breakfast options. remember, i love breakfast so this basically made my weekend.

afterward, we headed to a traditional turkish bath,  çemberlitas hamami. we were scrubbed down and washed by turkish woman (an interesting and incredibly wonderful experience) and then given an oil massage. it was absolutely just what we needed!

  3. sounds like you are still having a great time. Breakfast looks so tasty and I love your little Diana sitting on the table. I went on a Diana Scavenger hunt this weekend all over the sunset strip, sounds kind of geeky but it was a ton of fun. It's nice to see a fellow Diana lover:)
