Hagia Sophia

A short walk found us at a quaint little restaurant. They sure know how to do shish-k-bob here. Istanbul

Next we got another demonstration of Turkish Carpets. Beautiful again and still too rich for my blood. We got to chew on some Turkish Coffee here. Istanbul

Soon we were off to the Grand Bazaar - KapaliCarsi. This is a huge collection of specialty shops for gold and silver jewelry, books, antiques, you name it. We got some Greek Eyes, scarfs and other souvenirs.

Shopping can be tiring. The bus brought us back to the hotel where we had dinner. Some of the younger amongst us went out to see a belly dancing show. Others met in Father Bob's room later to see the night sites from his window.
