Grand Bazaar


On to the Grand Bazaar. This was overwhelming--again with just an hour to explore (and not get lost). It is a huge shopping area. We were accosted at every turn with an opportunity to buy leather, jewelry, jeans, Turkish delight candy... And so on.

This was after a demonstration (and sales pitch) at a high-end carpet shop. It was an informative talk, although we had attended one the day before in Izmir. Beautiful rugs, though. We were even tempted, but came to our senses before the credit card came out of our wallet.

  1. Gail, it looks like another trip of a lifetime and a little honeymoonish. So happy you're having a marvelous time. Blessings and safe travels home. Love, Paige and Andy
