Today was great. The CON's (Chief Officer of Nursing) wife took me for a tour of Istanbul on the Asian side. We traveled along town using transportation system called 'xxxxxx. We had a wonderful turkish lunch with Turkish tea, followed by a ferry crusie along the Bosphorus ( see picture at top).
The main road in our area was called Bagdad road- it actaully was like walking down Fifth Avenue in NYC- The highest priced shops were here- Rolex, Burberry, and all the stores that I never heard of in my life, As you continued along, you rounded a curse and headed back up the road & it then turned into the "low end" shops, flashy lights, and viola- you seem to be in an area just like Times Square! In between all of this were fish markets, everyday shops, and lots of amazing waterfront alond the Bosphorus. This 2nd picture is an island in the water that was called the "Maiden's Tower"- now a resturant & nightclub.
