A Day in Our Travel Life - 1/27/09

Istanbul, Turkey…we planned to do so many things, but wound up just visiting the 1500 year old Galata Tower, wandering around on Istikal Caddesi, taking a ferry cruise for 1.5 hours on the Bosphorus. Wandering in the city is quite nice, actually. We found several old bookstores where I was able to drool over old books and maps (but, alas could afford none) and some clothesshops for Jen.     -Craig

We awoke, had a shower and brekkie and set out on foot to see the city on foot!      -Jennifer

Istanbul is so amazingly spread out! It just goes on forever!      -Craig

Back at home, we cooked and ate dinner then showed some of our pictures to Serena (our couchsurfing hostess) and her mom and talked about our trip, then went to bed! :)      -Jennifer
