The Blue Mosque




I had to wear this funny outfit cause my elbows were showing.

Solid Marble column






Entering the Grand Bazaar

Lunch before Topkapi Palace

Topkapi Palace
The Sultans lived here until the 1800's when
Dolmabahce Palace was built.






This girl posed for about 20 different "stupid girl poses"
as we came to call them.

Finally our turn!





Bosphorus Ferry Cruise


We hiked up to that fort

Jackie's hand are on her hips, time for a break.
This was a steep hill.

Bosphorus Strait

Overlooking the Black Sea



Everyone loved Becca. All our tour guides wanted a picture with her, and most wanted a hug or kiss.  She declined.




Bosphorus Fish Boat
They cooked a gutted fish, still with ALL it's bones
and served it on a bun with onions.  It was disgusting.
We hunted it down because it had been on
Anthony Bourdain No Reservations.
