My dear Füsun,

Thank you so much for your visit to the picture, and sharing of today.
We shared the day in 2014 in Istanbul, today it was a little different..

When I loaded the picture I noticed the date was wrong, and changed it. Somehow it got changed back to September. I have since changed it again!

Love Peter
