Last night after writing to you/ the rug salesman came and got us and took us to a Turkish dinner show = Bill had volunteered to pay and it was twice the amount that we expected and then since it was after 11pm they would not take our VISA card so off we went to the teller maching to get more Turkish lire/ We highly suspect that the salesman did not want us to pay via VISA since then he would not get his cut! But we did have fun and the belly dancers were not only talented but beautiful!
Today we started out by visiting and walking around and through the Grand Bizar = my eyes were getting worn out just looking. We then returned to the rug shop to pick up the phone charger that the salesman had gone out and obtained for me during the night. We then walked down the street to the Hippidrome/ Blue Mosque/ Sophia whatever/Topkapi Palace with the Haram and then the Palace Cisterns. All very interesting but the cobblestones and the uneven pavement have my feet very tired. I am sure glad that I wore my sneakers today.
Today was the first day of Romaden (don/t know how to spell it) so much extra activity and banners and flags.
This keyboard is still a mystery to me = have found a few more missing letters. Our ship is now docked and we could see it across the GoldenHorn or Bhosporus. Tomorrow morning we have Turkish baths and massages scheduled then check out and board the big boat!
