Istanbul is bıg...

Today we walked a lot! My legs are so tired. The traffic is still really scary. We got up about 10 and had breakfast we ate the same things as yesterday but today we also had some bell pepper that is really long and skinny. Then Cansu took me to a lot of shopping places. First we went to Taksim where there are a lot of stores that are really small and filled with lots of stuff. There are also some stores that are 3 stories. While we were there a middle school marching band went down the street. The streets here are like a labyrinth it ıs crazy. Then we went to Nisantasi which is the rıch people area with all the designer stores we went to the mall their and it is like 6 floors wıth about 5 stores on each floor. Here in Istanbul T.G.I Fridays and Chilis are high class expensive resturants which is kind of different. After we left there we meet Cansu's mom and went to her store for a while and ate Adana Kabob Durum(wrap) . Then we went to a smaller mall like place where there is a grocery store in it. When you buy a 2 liter coke it comes with a glass with it you also get a glass when you but Tang and attached to a 6-pack of Fanta was a bowl. After we left there a friend of Cansu's mom picked us up and took us to Garipce where I saw the remains of a couple of 5000 year old castles. The pictures I uploaded are blurry but we are going to go back sometime so I can get some better ones. We then went to eat at a resturant on the Bosphorus where we sat outside by the water and ate toast withcheese and sucuk which is beef with spices and drank tea. They then took me to a waffle place where they have all kinds of toppings it was so good. Tomorrow we are going a Palace and go to Ortakoy and eat some Kumpıar(baked potato) and having a going away dinner for Cansu's cousin who is in the Navy.
