Greetings from Istanbul! Treasures from an old Turkish bazaar.
Istanbul, Turkey
Friday, October 14, 2022
Quick layover in Istanbul allows me to roam through the bazaars in the Duty Free area: Isnik ceramics, Turkish halva, magic carpets & glazed terracotta. Istanbul Entices.
Edible options: tons of syrupy baklava, wheels of sourdough bread, pidem with assorted stuffing & Turkish delight.
As In Yeats’ poem, the harbor is full of container ships that sailed to Byzantium. Modern-day Istanbul.
From the aircraft, upon landing in Istanbul, across the Bosporus, I see the thin strip of land that connects Europe with Asia.
