So Long Istanbul

My last night in this wonderful city is winding down - can't wait for the beach of the southern coast, but will certainly miss the liveliness of Istanbul. Had a great dinner at a meyhane, a tavern where you are shown a platter of cold mezes (starters) that you point at, then order the rest of your dinner from the menu. Had a great, fresh sea bream as well as delicious fried mussels and eggplant, artichoke, stuffed peppers, and eggplant-tomato dip. All, of course accompanied by raki, Turkey's version of ouzo or pastis. But better, as they say. As is everthing here, right?
