I'm not a chıcken...

We have seen and conquered Istanbul. It was a tough couple of days but we have survived. We went to the Grand Bizarre yesterday but did not buy much as it was fairly expensive and the people were hit and miss as far as haggling. We saw a fair amount of monuments and met some cool folks. We went to a Turkish bath house, picking the location based on someones recommendation. It was weird. We went in and changed into a towel that was too short for me. Then we walked across the lobby which was open to the street, partially exposing ourselves to the people on the street. We then proceeded into separate rooms where we pored water onto ourselves in preparation to our bath. Then someone came and got us and literally washed us. When we were done we got tea and that was it. Not all that cool. We are taking a overnight train to Athens tonight, will stay there for a couple of days then we head for the olive farm, wıll post more and add photos soon!
