David's European Tour - More From Turkey

Still in Turkey - got to Istanbul yesterday on the overnight express train from Ankara.

Turkey is a great place. Yesterday we walked through the GRAND BAZAAR!! It was impressive, but not so overwhelming as I thought it would be. I mean, it is just stall after stall of junk kind of. haha. I was in search of a lamp, like the ones I used to get at World Market, but these were bigger, round, and had colorful mosaic tiles in them. Of course shipping here is the biggest issue as it is about $100 USD to send a lamp home via FedEx (and using regular mail was apparently cumbersome with extra charges for customs, etc). So, getting a good deal isn't really a thing here if you have to ship it home. :-(

Love ya- Miss ya!
