Navigated our way through several busses to Kadikoy on the Sea of Marmara and bought our renewable "Akbil Satis" (little programmable bus "keys").
We scouted out the Sea Bus toll booth, shopped for groceries, had yogurt and lamb for dinner and are now ready to sleep until June.
What a great city! But the real story is the people: Today as we returned from the market with several bags we boarded a crowded bus, it was really, really crowded. Several old ladies and men insisted on holding our bags on their laps while we tried to keep our balance as the bus wove in and out of traffic.
At every point today, we found Turks who went out of their way to be nice to us. Kinda cool for the kid's to have this kind of start.
FYI...We are having some E-mail delays.
