We sat home one day and rested our weary feet and bodies. Around 11:00 pm, Pops up from the couch and says, "Let's go to Taksim!" We didn't question, just quickly got up and took a Taksi (taxi) to Taksim! It sounded fun, why ask questions when it sounds fun??
Taksim is a central area of Istanbul. It is constantly full of people, food, and shopping. It was so fun to go that late at night! We didn't get home until 2 am! We just walked and walked and walked. We people watched, saw street performers, ate some McDonald's. It was so nice to just walk and observe. We felt like we were apart of the turkish culture. This is what locals do, we were totally locals!
I didn't take many photos. In fact- only 3. haha But Enjoy...
An old watch tower. Everyone that hung out around it were totally drunk! They were singing and dancing, it was awesome!
Oh yeah, this was a high school. For serious. This was just the entrance. Amazing right??
I am going to miss taksim when we go back to Rexburg. I will miss the freedom of no matter what hour, there is always something to do there!
OKAY. OKAY. Please stop making me so jealous! This is the trip of your lifetime and you and your husband seem like so much fun! If you two ever come to Southern California we all need to get together:) My husband is from Toronto! All of his family (except his parents) still live in that area. We are going to Toronto, Bracebridge and Collingwood!
