This morning, I went out for a Turkish cappacino at the equivalent of a Turkish Starbucks. The cappacino came which came with a molded chocolate spoon and chocolate covered coffee beans. Too cute... and the beans were amazingly good!
I spent the morning at Topcapi Palace – the old palace of Istanbul. We saw beautiful jewels and wonderfully well-preserved clothing which is just another example of how much history is here! The palace grounds were beautiful as well. Afterward, I had to go back to the Bazaar (which was close by) for more shopping and bargaining. I also couldn’t help myself – I had to go back to the Spice Market, too! I hung out at the Spice Market for a little while spending the rest of my lira until it was time to hop back on the tram to get to the ship. Once on board, I had dinner with my Student Affairs at Sea family, went to post-port reflection, and then worked like crazy in the Living-Learning Coordinators’ office to put things together for the next two day’s events. Late night, but I got caught up on a lot.
I'm sad to leave Istanbul - I could have stayed here a few extra days, FOR SURE...
wow, we really have so much to talk about, which brings me to my next point, hurrrrryyy up and get back here, we miss you and the office just isn´t the same!! on a serious note, keep enjoying yourself and we will be waiting sorta patiently :)
