Luc DuGrenier's 11th birthday and Skye Twilight's 4th birthday!

Here is the birthday boy at lunch . . . well maybe it is him?

A street seller near our hotel "Divan City" . . . He is selling roasted chestnuts and what we think are green plums . . .

And birthday dessert at dinner!

Hotel Divan at Taksim Square . . .

 Just arriving on the job site at 9:00 a.m. 

 Lots of crates of glass to unpack!

 Glass panels in the gates to the sushi bar . . .

 Getting organized!

Hanging the first of three frames for the red chandeliers in the entrance lobby . . .

 With just a few of the glass pieces to check back with the architect in NYC about the correct height of the frame, before we continue to install the glass fins.

A "Starbucks" break . . . yes there is a Starbucks next door!

We must be in a foreign country - lots of flags hung out on buildings . . .

Robert & Jay in the Mercedes van from the hotel to take us from the airport to the hotel . . .

Old city wall - photo from the van from the airport to the Divan City hotel.

A simil seller on the highway - a kind of a sesame bagel . . .

We made it!
Skye was a little sad and did a run around the car as we headed to New York's JFK airport.

Twizzlers for a road trip ~ Luc using them as a straw with his gator aid!

JFK - sorting the bags . . .
