Rain
İ went to the Grand Bazaar today in the pouring rain. İ thought that with the tourist season ending and the crappy weather that there wouldn´t be many people out, but there were throngs of tourists - all standing around in the rain waiting in line to get into all of the tourists attractions: the musuem, Hagia Sophia, and the Blue Mosque.
İ ate lunch, made it to the bazaar, got soaking wet and came straight back to the hostel. The photo is inside the bazaar, but it does it no justice. The bazaar is massive, a huge maze of stalls.

Love the pictures! Did you think to pack a raincoat? Haha. Sounds like you need one. I've never heard of these places but obviously you've done you're research. So where do you go for lunch? Do they have fast food places or are you eating local cuisine? And what would be the local cuisine? I love that you're keeping us up to date on what you're doing and where you are. Keep having fun! Love, Mom
