To market, to market

One of the things we loved about Istanbul was the numerous markets. We miss our Ballard Farmers' Market and haven't been able to find anything similar in Japan yet.

In Istanbul, we visited the Grand Bazaar, the spice market, and some local markets.

Sausage and olives...Ryan was drooling...


Here's Ian trying some cheese that a vendor gave him. It was similar to string cheese.


Honey


Mmm....watermelon

Here's the spice market.



We bought quite a few spices. So far we've just used the cinnamon, but we're excited to start using the rest.



Ian tried on a fez at one of the local shops. Yep, they even have sizes for kids.
