Hi!

Here's a short report of day 7 of my Istanbul trip, Thursday October 24rd.

* We met up with Alphan again, same place and same time, Sirkeci station at 2pm.

* Alphan led us on a similar path as last time, except we kept the radius smaller and he found us new alleys and streets.

* We checked out some indoor shopping gallerias from way back, with lots of character from the olden days. Light seeped in here and there and there were many old staircases giving us interesting opportunities for finding a composition with a fresh feeling.

* We had lunch on the second floor walkway around a large courtyard, where the focus of commerce was on everything textile. Cloth, yarn, ribbons, thread...well you get the picture.

* Like we almost always do when Alphan is involved, we finished our day off at Eminönu, but there wasn't much time for the Galata bridge scenes before Alphan had to catch his ferry back home.

* Me and Keef had a börek dinner and I got a box of baklava for the tea/coffee at the flat

Be well, everybody!
