Food in Istanbul
They clay pot meals are the most haves. You can get whatever you want prepared in them and they serve with mashed potatoes, rice of sorts, and salad. Delicious… can’t load video here. I’ll try when we get back.
Yesen became our friend and the local eatery and introduced us to the rug king. He gave us nicknames while there. Called me “My Chocolate” and Laura “Michelle Obama”. All terms of endearment. Everywhere we went the people were fascinated with us. Btwn my hair and laura height we were celebrities.

On the streets of Istanbul
We arrived in Istanbul the last night of the Muslim fast called Ramadan, so there were clebrations everywhere.
I was overwhelmed with the number of people on the streets and had no idea how huge this Arabic city is. Let’s just say we were like fresh meat after a fast.
In the pic above we are hiding in a restaurant in Taksim square bc there were thousands of people out singing, dancing, eating, etc.
Videos won’t load…
See the look on Lauras face, that’s fear lol. Everyone wanted to touch and talk to us.
Just another street boo before the night got crazier and we had to hide in an Italian spot.
