A few observations about Istanbul:Love the people - helpful, happy, hardworking--they will always try to sell you somethingWe rarely interacted with women, it was always the men who did the serving, selling, etc.Multiple daily call to prayers were a reminder that this is a history-rich ancient cityThe Turks aren't like the Greeks and they make sure you know it Traveling there in the summer without a hat is stupid
Hope you enjoy these last pics of my trip to Istanbul

Love these cute girls with their colorful dresses and braided hair
This tipped over truck had everyone scratching their heads. It toppled just as this narrow road bends.
Yusuf Kurt, our darling guide we hired for a day. He was excellent.

The Turks love their bread!
Love the modern with the old
Impressive--we were sweltering wearing cotton and linen but these ladies didn't break a sweat.
Goodnight Istanbul
