John! Thank you for that! I now have two birthday's to look forward to each year, isn't that great? It seems your birthday wasn't too long ago either so happy belated birthday :) I actually didn't know about the Bastille day, what's the story behind that?
Unlike my trip to Bahamas which focused mostly on one place, my recent visit to Turkey has been all over the place and I'm really excited to show everyone how different Turkey can be moving from one place to another.
Thank you also for the observation about the depth I like to put into my work, although travelling has been my main theme as of late, this is the usual thing for me during the summer but in the colder winter months, I tend to do more of the thought provoking posts. Not too long left till winter :)
