Don’t know why I am not identified. Never mind. What a fabulous rundown. Wish that I could get this place into my itinerary since II will be close. Oh well next time. I’ll just have to go again. Like the sound of the sauce? paste? made out of sesame seeds. Can you bring some home?

Didn’t you just love all the scarves. I came home with about 10. Peter shook his head at me. I explained that they were xmas gifts. Sounds like we had pretty similar trips. I hope you get to make it back. I hope Peter and I do too.

I’m so glad you loved it. I have been twice and I can’t get enough. Alas my next trip to Turkey will be Ankara (boring!) but I’m thinking of trying to get Chris to meet me in Istanbul after my work for a vacation. I must check out that Corlulu Ali Pasa Medresesi! I love sitting with a hookah and tea. :)

Turkish baths are heaven. I didn’t wear quite as much clothing as you, but I did insist on keeping my bottoms on. :) Squeaky clean for sure! I think the Hagia Sophia is my favorite site. It really tells the tale of the history of that region – and it’s stunning. Blue Mosque is amazing too! The Grand Bazaar is awesome – I too bought many scarves! The line I got last time there was not flattery, it was straight to the point, “How can I convince you to give me your money today?” I almost wanted to stop there just because I respected his honest approach! Can’t wait to hear about Cappadocia. It is another fairy tale land!

It was more like 10 seconds. It was so hard. The training must be very long and intense to be able to master the art. That, or they are tapping into energies from the divine.
