Second day in Istanbul

On our second day in Istanbul, we spent a lot of time wandering around

I liked this building

Lots of street vendors selling fruit

The Blue Mosque from a side street (I climbed on a wall to take this picture, woo)

Fun side street

The Bosphorus from a construction site

Old wall and taxis

More fruit

Corn

Views of the neighborhood on the north side of the old city

I liked the street vendors

A fun old bank that had a net mix of ottoman and art deco styles

Our goal oaths walk was to go to the spice bazaar.  Also known as the Egyptian market or 

Mısır Carsısı

Lots of spices and turkish delight

On our way back we walked through the grand bazaar area, but everything was shut down for the day

It was sort of strange to see so little activity.  We went to this general region a few days later and it was total chaos

Cute

Oranges and pomegranates 

Even closed down, there are lots of people about

Cute family

Back to the hippodrome at night.  Fun day
