Well, more like a jogging/walking group, this group has gone every morning after our facetime calls to family. It is wonderful to see the city wake up, very different vibe than the hustle and bustle of afternoon and evening time.
The people here are very friendly and often greet and joke with us on our run ("faster faster"). However, even more friendly are the stray dogs. One morning we were escorted by an ever growing pack, until a "territorial disagreement" brought us back down to our first dog we picked up along the way. (Don't worry, the others just wandered away)
Running past the Hagia Sophia every morning
I guess this is their morning off
There are a lot of cats in the city! I have heard two versions of a story about the prophet Muhammad and cats, indicating their protected status in the Islamic world. The saying is, "kill a cat...build a mosque"
No, not in trouble here...these are the guards at the park entrance
