Lilypie 3rd Birthday Ticker Lilypie 1st Birthday Ticker

Down by the sea

    This morning we went out to a place called Ortakoy which is right on the Bosphorus Strait. It is a great place to go, especially on the weekends when they have tables set up where vendors are selling jewelry, scarves, pictures, clothes, etc. It was nice family time, here are a few pictures.

    The bridge behind us is one of the two bridges that connects Europe and Asia.

    Cok Tatli!!!

    This is what Jeff had for lunch. It is called a Kumpir, and it is a huge baked potato loaded with all kinds of stuff - sosis (similar to hot dogs), corn, black and green olives, lentils, pickles, potato salad (which is sometimes called "American Salad" here, we aren't sure why though), ketchup, mayonaise and some sort of pink vegetable which we were unable to identify. Looks good, doesn't it?

    This is the mosque right on the water in Ortakoy.
