October 25, walking around town, yoga, and music

Daphne and I had a great day walking around Istanbul.  We had Kufte, turkish meatballs for lunch.  Then took the ferry to the European side.  In the photos below (when they get uploaded) you can see tons of boats waiting to cross the Bosforus to head into the Black sea.  I guess boats need to wait for a go ahead, so they just hang out near Istanbul.  See map below.

We enjoyed walking around town.  Then we headed to Yoga.  Good class, it was in English.  It was so cool to be able to do yoga in a such a busy city 6 flights up from all the traffic.

Daphne and I had some of the best food on the trip, Kebab wrapped in a large pita like wrap.  A turkish burrito of sorts.

It was amazing to see so many people out at night on a Tuesday.  There were so many outdoor restaurants.  Then we enjoyed listening to some great music at 5 floor bar.  Lots of people dancing!!!  Good fun!  Getting back to D's place was a breeze at 2 in the morning on the Dolmus (van bus- a colectivo type bus).  No traffic, phew!
