Last year at this time I was in Istanbul. And while sitting here in Seoul this morning it seems so long ago and far away, it is a still a wonderful memory. Let’s look at some pictures, want to?
The Blue Mosque
The Hagia Sophia
Rumeli Fortress
At the spice market
I didn’t see a Turkish bath, but here’s a Turkish toilet….
The Turks we met were all very friendly, warm and gracious. This shopkeeper at the Arasta Bazaar named Erol was very kind and helpful. Of course, Carol spent a lot of money in his shop. But the apple tea was great!
One of my personal favorites…we saw a show featuring traditional Turkish dancing, including a belly dancer who was gracious enough to pose for this photo.
You can read a little more about the trip here.
Quite a contrast, last year’s sightseeing and this year’s. Since I never saw the pix from last year, this was fun. Except for thinking about the toilet. 🙁 Actually, isn’t it time for more local sightseeing photos? With nice white frosting on the trees and such?
