Sept 7—Sun, A day in Istanbul
Ugh, I had a terrible nights sleep. Still jet lagged, I didn’t sleep a wink after 1:00 am. After breakfast we had a day on our own, and spent it riding all over Istanbul, seeing Mosques, Palaces, cats (Istanbul is full of them) and more. The "15 July Martyrs Bridge “ that connects the European side of Istanbul to the Asian side, reminded me of the Golden Gate Bridge. After all of that sightseeing, we had a lovely Lupper (Lunch/Supper) at a restaurant under a bridge where fishermen were fishing for sardines! We were having so much fun, we missed the last bus—and had to hot foot it back to the hotel to make it to a 7 pm Welcome meeting. During that meeting I nearly fell out of my chair— I was nodding off so badly. I whispered to Randy that I was falling asleep, and he said he was too! We made it an early night, and packed a bag for our overnight trip to Troy, and Gallipoli the following morning. I sure hope I sleep tonight. Randy is already snoring beside me!
Looked all over to try and find this link, and finally found it. There's something about people around the Mediterranean and cats. Greece is full of them, and Cyprus as well, I understand.
