This was our last day!  In the morning we visited the tall ships that had sailed in to the city yesterday - we missed them in full sail!











For the past eight days we have enjoyed some great food.  One restaurant that we particularly favored was a cafeteria with Turkish food where we selected from a vast array by just pointing.







This restaurant is under a bridge and this Cem showing Susan the fish choices of the day.  She decided on meat after viewing the fish.







Turkish coffee is as thick as syrup!



Along the Golden Horn are fancy, decorative boats where fellows grill fish for delicious sandwiches with lettuce and onions.  They were cheap ($2.80) and yummy - although it took one whole day and several handwashings to rid ourselves of a fishy smell!







These fellows, dressed in colorful attire, were our waiters.  The fellow on the right is holding containers of pickled veggies.



Street vendors were everywhere offering some interesting nibbles including roasted chestnuts, roasted corn, donuts, and bread rings crusted with sesame seeds.











Also a favorite (mine, but not Susan's) was the Turkish ice cream made with something that makes it gooey almost like Turkish taffy.





A very popular sandwich is shaved roasted meat or chicken on a roll.  These vendors are seen are on every street corner.



There are also a lot of candy stores and bakeries with super sweet goodies.



The markets displayed gorgeous produce and lots interesting fish.







We saved the best for last.  It was too expensive for souvenirs!



Tomorrow we leave at 9am, tired but very happy.  See you all soon.
