My Favorite Parts of Turkey

Thats just a nicepicture of me tucking a statick eletricity ball.

        I’m writing about Turkey, because I haven’t finished my blogs for Turkey until now.  I can barely remember where we went in Turkey, but I remember my favorite places. My favorite place of all was either the apartment near Galata Tower or the Spice Bazaar. I also really like the Turkish mosques and my favorite of the mosques was the Blue Mosque.

That's sarah and I in a mosque, I don't know whitch.

        The Spice Bazaar was probably my favorite because it smelled really good and the jewelry was really cheap and pretty.  When we went to the Spice Bazaar, mommy was looking for sweetened anise to give to someone as a gift, but we never found any. Instead daddy bought some really good dried mangos and two boxes of Turkish delight that was the bad kind. We gave one box of Turkish delight to Ilter and Gul and ate the other box that night. The Turkish delight had a thin rubbery coating underneath the powdered sugar but other than that it was OK. While mommy and daddy were looking at the sweets, Mia and I were looking at the jewelry in the shop across from them. There was some really cool and cheap jewelry.  I bought two bracelets and a necklace that had a flower with multi colored petals inside a silver squashed cylinder. Mia bought two bracelets and a necklace. Mia’s necklace was a bejeweled, silver rose, Mia looks really good in it and it made her look sophisticated.

        The things I liked about the apartment were the cozy and comfy the beds, the view of the Galata tower and shops\square at the foot of the tower. You all know how awesome the apartment and the view was. The cobble stone square that is at the foot of the Galata tower is probably a really nice place to walk and sit if it’s not snowing or raining like it was when we were there. The shops along the Galata square were really nice and cozy looking and there was a small grocery market really close to our house that we got our food from. The grocery market had some really cheap candy and a pretty good selection of foods. What I like most about the apartment and square is probably the Galata tower square because how nice a view it has of the town and the water.

That's a random mosque we walked past on our second day in Turkey.

        The third thing I really liked about Turkey or Istanbul was the mosques and my favorite of the mosques is the Blue Mosque. The thing I really liked about all the mosques is how nice the carpet on the ground inside the mosques and how quite the mosques are. The Blue Mosque has really pretty paintings on the roofs and ceilings and has really cool light fixtures in the middle of the mosques. The light fixtures were set up in a big flower in the center of the mosque and some flat, round spirals around the rest of the mosque. The Blue Mosque was definitely my favorite mosque in Turkey.

        I really liked Turkey.  I hope we go back there some time in the future, but not until we are living comfortably back in California.
