We saw quite a few mosques while in Istanbul. While I tried to be respectful, after the first one or so - I had a hard time listening.
They were impressive and we took off our shoes and Sharon and I covered our heads....
But after awhile we explained to the local (that we had hired) that we really wanted to see something more of Istanbul
Yes, it is true that I had Starbucks in Istanbul. It wasn't for the coffee, it was for the "city mugs" that I wanted to give as gifts. But really, who can go into Starbucks and not walk out with some?
Yes, those of us from Seattle don't really care for Starbucks, but after living in DC now - it's often the best I can get.
Wasn't a great day for taking pictures, dark and drizzly. (Which is a common theme of this trip) Guess that is the risk you take when you go off peak.
