Our third day in Istanbul was DELICIOUS!  It was a full day of decadent eating and eating and eating.  With four other travelers and one guide, Benoit, we ate our way through Istanbul’s European side’s Karaköy neighborhood, after crossing the Bosphorus via ferry,  the Asian side’s Kadıköy (https://culinarybackstreets.com/tours-food-tours/tours-istanbul/2016/two-markets-two-continents).  What made the tour so delightful – in addition to the fabulous food! – were our dining companions, especially two friends who met in college, one works in launching startups and the other is a writer for Reuters who is based in Nairobi and pregnant with her second child.  (Okay, the two guys currently attending Harvard Business School were a bit arrogant…and not as fun to hang out with!)  Benoit shared stories, showed videos, and fed us so much food I thought I’d never eat again!

We had to hurry at the end since the tour went on over an hour longer than expected, and we wanted to go to Purim services…
