The bakery a few blocks from my first flat: always a delicious and affordable temptation. The whole grain bread with walnuts and cranberries was my favorite. Yummmmmmmmmm.
More views of my way home. That is Fenerbahce Stadium on the left.
The way home.
There was a school across the street from my first flat. This is part of the play area out back. There were at least four, sometimes five, cats in this furry little wad almost every day. Too cute.
This was the small store across the street from my first flat where I bought all of my drinking water and an occasional snack or two.
The street outside my flat. The small store shown above is to the immediate right.
My daily path from flat to school at Via Lingua.
The Hill on the way to Via Lingua. Ok, now I know it doesn't look like much but as the weeks wore on and the bookload was added to the weight of my not-quite-easily-portable laptop, this grade just got steeper and steeper. This is the only thing about Istanbul I will not miss.
A classic street in Kadikoy. This is one of the routes I used to take to and from school everyday. See what I mean about distractions? It's just too easy here!
The fabulous open market in Kadikoy. Simply one of the best. This I miss.
My favorite restaurant in Istanbul located in the open market in Kadikoy. While we were in school, my classmates and I used to have lunch here at least 2 or 3 times a week. They have the best fish soup I have ever had. If you are ever in Istanbul, catch the ferry to Kadikoy, wander into the open market between the Blue Mosque and Via Lingua and find this restaurant. You will not be disappointed.
The ferry port in Kadikoy. I spent a great deal of time going to and fro from here.
Waiting for the doors to open to the dock.
One of the best street-treats here in Istanbul: roasted sweetcorn. Don't be shy. Belly on up and give it a try!
