I didn't think I could ever eat my fill of eggplant, but I might have gotten there. There is likely much more eggplant in my future, though, so I'm doing my best to enjoy it! Today we visited Topkapi Palace and the Grand Bazaar, both of which exude "character" ... you know (hopefully). My favorite site of the day was the Underground ("Basilica") Cistern, which is a startlingly lavish structure for a reservoir. It's wonderfully lit and a delightful bit of history (as is everything else in Istanbul). We also walked through some streets that gave us a glimpse of not-touristy-Turkish life, which was a nice change of pace.
#1 discovery of the day: Turkish ice cream is delicious!
