ISTANBUL / TURKEY - Sept 2003
Eight days adventure and exploration. Istanbul. Mosques. The smell of the Sisha. The crowded, sensual marketplaces. That old world feeling. The enchanting calls to prayer; spellbinding music. Rooftop views. Starbound skies. Ferries to the Asian shore and curious walks in old quarters. Bosphorus bridges and strolls in posh uptown metropolitan Istanbul. Amazing Turkish pastries and snacks- lamacun, lentil soup, borek, baklava and other lucious sweets. The steam, hot marble, rich wood and flowing water of the Hamam. Tea, tea and more tea. A bus out to Amasra on the Black Sea. Swimming, Hiking. And of course, plenty of Turkish Delight.
