ISTANBUL - BEAUTIFUL TOWN

           Istanbul is very big , old and nice city. With this photo ( above ) I want to show you how it look like , where the Black Sea kiss the Aegean Sea . This town with name Costantinople was the largest and richest urban center in the Eastern  Mediterranean during the late Roman Empire . It was good strategic position commanding the trade routes between the Black and the Aegean Sea.
     There are so many mosques with tall and slim minarets near. From minarets you can hear the call for prayer five times daily. Our second day in Istanbul we was in one shop for souvenirs when was time for praying and nobody care for us. Owner of shop prayed. We look each other and move around for while and went out.Every day or better to say that all the time we were surprised with something.
    In Istanbul you can see many churches and monasteries too. There are Obelisk of Theodosius And Walled Obelisk.Constantinople (Istanbul) was under the Byzantine emperor Theodosius II . Many Column are there :
Column of Marcian, Column of Constantine and Column of Justinian . Nice to see is great Palace of Constantinople.

   In the middle of one street there is huge tree , that divides the two-way traffic. It's very interesting and I am sure more than eight people holding their hands hardly would make circle around it .
   Before I wrote that two seas meet in the Bosporus  Channel . One bridge  named Galata Saray is unique. It's two- deck bridge: very dense traffic of ca rs , taxis , buses ,small buses , old big America' s cars called Dolmush , motorcyclists ... and too many peoples walking on the both sides , but also upstairs and downstairs.
When you go downstairs and see fisherman who just catch fish ,other man baked that fish and next one make

fish sandwiches which you can eat it walking or sit there and eat it from plate. I must tell you that it is very tasty. Next time I will write more about interesting things there and beautiful blue sea in Istanbul ! To be continue....
