Wonderful Introduction to a Fantastic City - Istanbul is a large and diverse city – and it was wonderful to have someone like Feruza show us around. We started our day with a tram ride from our hotel-area to the Old Town, where we descended into the sprawling Grand Bazaar and Spice Market. What an experience! Yet the best part of our time together was talking about the city and its people, sitting outdoors at a café, and getting to know each other personally. We enjoyed seeing some off-beat areas of the city, eating street food amongst the din of the vendors and the conversations of the locals, and generally walking about and taking in all the sights-n-sounds of this fantastic city. And all of this is thanks to our special host/friend, Feruza.
