I think it is excellent to consider yourself fallible in stuff, trust your beautiful and brilliant wife! Even a VR experience of swimming with dolphins can relieve chronic pain:

I hope you are not bothered by chronic pain, FWR .

Over the years, I've had friends or co-workers tell me of their enjoyable visits to Istanbul. I've read novels set there ("Janissary Tree," and enjoyed a documentary called "Kedi," which is about the cats that live in Istanbul.

I'd love to see Istanbul some day, but I don't know if there will be a chance to explore the coast of Turkey.

So many places I'd like to go, and not so much energy as I used to have....

But glad you had a good time .

Not me Paul, but my wife suffers....and yes, she did feel better afterwards!

Interesting link, thanks Elektra, wonderful experience, they offer sessions with disabled people as therapy.

Great write up, and superb photos of course - glad you and the dolphins had an excellent time

Well, you never know about the dolphins. They may be friendly, but are they really plotting to take over the world?

They already have the part of it they want.

I'm cool with that . I wish that we humans could refrain from filling the dolphins' home with plastic. I saw a prediction that by a certain year (2050) there will be more plastic than sea creatures in the ocean .

In the movie "Bernadette, where did you go?" there's a meditation on the complicated lives of intelligent creatures such as humans and dolphins. We may be smart, but do we have to stick it to others of our kind?
