Susan and I took advantage of our free time by walking the streets of Istanbul until the rest of the group returned to the hotel. I showed her the nearby Mosque and the original aquaduct for the city (which is still capable of delivering fresh clean water). She was glad that I had been here before so I could be her amateur guide. I had actually stayed in this section of the city last year and was comfortable with ny navigational skills (hey, all you need to know is the name of your hotel and someone will guide you back.)
Then we had dinner at the hotel and sat outside with dessert and a glass of wine. My friend Achmet tended to our every whim and need, and the hotel staff kept a watchful eye on us. I love this city!
