After lunch near Taksim Square we each went our separate ways. Some went back to the Bazaar, others to yet another museum. We rested and began to get our luggage together. Many met at Fathe Bob's room at 5 pm for a celebration of the Mass in honor of his "Boss" Saint Therese on her feast day. To hear the Reading/Sermon click St. Therese Reading .

After the Mass, I again took a few moments to photograph the views outside Father Bob's window. The position of the sun gave a bit different perspective on the mosques.

Dilek then brought us across the golden horn and to a nice fish restaurant, the Mavi Balik situated on the Bosphorus Strait. We were greeted by our evening meal on the way in. We walked by the selection of fish, shrimp and lobster. We climbed the stairs and filed past a huge selection of wines. We chose to sit outside under the Turkish moon. It was bit cool, but the evening lights cast a beautiful view of the buildings along the water.

As we found our seats overlooking the Bosphorus, we also felt a cool breeze moving in on us. We settled in for a nice dinner, our last together as a group.

When the sun went down, the lights illuminated the buildings along the Bosphorus. On the trip back to the Hotel we stopped at the Divan Candy Store and stocked up on gifts for those we left back home.
