During the first night we walked to an interesting restaurant where we had the option of sitting on cushions and eating at a low table just like they used to do, and for all I know, some may still eat this way. It was fun and the walls were hung with interesting fabrics. We ordered a bread they called a pancake and it came with different fillings and could be dipped into sauces. It was quite good and I posted a picture of a lady out front making them.

After a filling dinner we walked around the Old City. Vendors were hawking their wares and even though it was around 10:00 at night, families were out strolling around. The Hagia Sophia, first pictures, and the Blue mosque were both lit up and very beautiful. The last picture is a view from our hotel. It has great views!

The faithful were called to prayer at 10:30 and I was called to bed. The seagulls like to argue through the night and the muezzins woke me at 4:30 a.m. with the morning call to worship. I must say, it is a beautiful chant but It was a sleepless night and a two cups of coffee day!
