Yesterday morning we went to the Spice Bazaar near the Galata Bridge and bought some spices (of course) and tea. It was very quiet and the salesmen didn't seem to hassle us like the ones from the Grand Bazaar. We also went back to the Grand Bazaar and came away with nothing because it was too early in the day. The salesmen are more than willing to bargain later on in the day, but not so in morning. They kept saying "You're my first customer of the day." Blah Blah! I almost had the one guy down to a lower price but he wouldn't budge.
Before we left I had Mado's ice cream: caramel with walnuts and orange with orange pieces and pistachios.
We're back in Göreme and it's so quiet and relaxing compared to İstanbul. We are very happy to be finishing our trip here. Last night we went to a Turkish dinner/dance. The dinner consisted of a bunch of cold mezzes dishes and a hot main dish, which was rice, beef, tomatoes, and hot peppers. The dancers performed traditional Turkish dances from different areas of Turkey.

Today, it's pouring in Göreme.
