Our Final Evening - Istanbul, Turkey

On our final evening in Istanbul we decided to eat at one of the local restaurants and try their version of a pancake or crepe. These sweet old ladies sit for hours as they make and roll dough from scratch. We curiously stood by as we watched them fill the dough will various fillings like spinach, cheese, vegetables, and chicken or beef. They were very good! We also had a few Turkish dips and some stone oven bread. It made for a perfectly relaxing evening, and Tom loved it because it was actually cheap.
After dinner, we took one final stroll down the bustling Sultanahmet and enjoyed the 60 degree weather. We took some beautiful pictures of the Blue Mosque from every angle and stopped at our favorite restaurant for some tea and dessert. It was the perfect ending to a wonderful trip to Istanbul.
