Hi!

Here's a short report of day 8 of my Istanbul trip, Friday, October 25th.

* Me and Keef spent most of the day at the flat, chatting about photography, music and life in general.

* Keef wanted to do a bit of exploration on his own, so we went on separate photo walks for about 3 hours, between 3 and 6 pm.

* I took the tram to Cemberlitas and walked down the hill south, towards the Yenikapi ferry terminal, but not quite all the way. It's a little bit of a rough neighborhood, dilapidated buildings and a large black African community mixed in with the locals and immigrants from around the Mediterranean.

* My walk took me back up the hill after heading west at the bottom and I came up to the tram tracks between Aksaray and Beyazit.

* Crossing the big square at the University gates, I passed just west of the Grand Bazaar and went down the hill towards Eminönu.

* After getting back to the flat almost simultaneously, we went out for a simple dinner at the corner pide place.

Be well, everybody!
