Yesterday it was the Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar!

But one of the better things was Aysem reading our Turkish coffee grounds and telling us our predictions. After you drink your coffee, you place the saucer on top of the cup and turn it over toward yourself very quickly. You can see mine was not as neat as Keith's. Then you put your ring on your cup and wait for the china to cool. The remaining grounds leave patterns and your future predictions will be read. After the cup, the saucer is read. I went first and Keith went second. It was fun.

We also looked around and saw a lot of interesting stuff, but we had to moderate ourselves since we are at the beginning of the trip and will be bringing things home from India. We then wandered over to the Spice Bazaar where we saw mounds of spices, amazing teas, candies, outside that building we saw animals for the farm or for pets pet food by the scoop, garden supplies and hundreds of bulbs and seeds.

After our shopping we ate at a rooftop restaurant over looking the harbor and the bay called the Golden Horn.
