Back in Delhi after 7 weeks. We stopped in Istanbul for 24 hours because the flight from Chicago was 11 hours plus. The Holiday Inn near the airport was quite luxurious - surprisingly and very Turkish not surprisingly. We went to the Museum of Modern Art which we had tried very hard to find at the beginning of May but couldn't find. It is set across the Golden Horn from Sultanamehet right on the bank of the Sea of Marmara. It is only 5 years old but has a big collection breath take-ingly displayed. It reminded us of the Tate Modern and the new modern addition to the Art Institute in Chicago. Definitely a world class museum. The spires of minarets all over the modern city are reminders to remember God and to remember to pray every time they are glimpsed. We flew on June 24 arriving in Delhi at 4 AM on June 25. It was horrifingly hot but the monsoon more or less began this Tuesday. Temperatures went down from 115 to 100. At least bearable.
