That's the Bosporus behind me with Asia beyond. Apparently there are no barber shops in Istanbul.

The market was interesting.

Plenty of fresh fish.

One afternoon a few of us hired a boat and took a trip north toward the Black Sea. This is the Rumeli Fort.

We saw lots of places to eat, so decided to stop.

We ended up dining on grilled fish and way too much raki with some university students from Istanbul.

An after-lunch shot of us and the students.

After lunch we needed a little coffee to sober up.
