Gobble Gobble: More Turkey

Back in turkey: eating Turkish delight, drinking Turkish coffee and going to mosques. Istanbul has also seen its share of history and victories as is evident by the splendid palaces and Bazaars. The Grand bazaar is a monumental market hall holding over 5,000 stores. Pictured bellow is the largest palace harem and the cisterns under the town square.

History Trivia: The 4th Crusade couldn’t get the funds it needed to pay the Italians for the ships to attack Egypt and so they decided to go and sack the Christian city of Constantinople (istambul) crushing the Byzantine empire.
