Day 6 in Istanbul

















Well, now I'm at the airport waiting to go to wonderful morocco, I'm very excited, I even got to practice my francais in the line waiting for my ticket. I will arrive in casablaca at 330 in the morning but will wait until 6am to take the train to fes, casablaca is 4 million people, being the largest city in morocco and it is not what i'm looking for so i'll get out and get to the old capitol, fes.

Now back to istanbul, i did spend all day here, I will miss this city.
highlights of day six
-walked to sultanamet this morning, wonderful walk
-saw a huge line to topkopi palace and decided to skip it.
-went to one of the oldest turkish baths in istanbul, 15 something! it was fun, not as good as a jjimjilbang but fun, I opted out of the scrub down for money reasons, i wont regret it.
-hung around in awe at ayasofia
-chilled in the park at the tip of the golden horn
-bought some of my favorite treats to take back, we'll see if they make it back
-sunset on galata bridge, they remembered me, i guess there aren't too many red beards around
-ate an amazing fish bread and drank pickle juice, wow! doesn't sound good but you're wrong, amazing!
-walked over the far bridge and back to taksim
-learned about the eye you see everywhere, it's a protector, i'll explain when I see you.
-made it to the airport.
