Food pics for the day. Tavruk durum (chicken wrap) for lunch. Dinner was truly amazing which works of great for our last dinner in Turkey. Crispy shrimp, beef ribs, Manti (Turkish Ravioli) and the amazing desserts. Katmer (phyllo with pistachio and clotted cream) and Kazandibi (burned milk pudding). Both of these desserts might be better than baklava. New favorites.

Another amazing dinner, this time we had a little friend watching us. Hot hummus to start, buttered shrimp, Turkish beef casserole, and helva of semolina. So good. Thank goodness we have all these hills and stairs to climb to burn it off.

Anyone who knows about our trips, knows that Steve is bad about making time in the schedule for meals. So he rushed me out the door this morning and wouldn't get breakfast. After the first few stops I made him get a pastry to share and finally döner wraps for lunch. Then he treated me to the best baklava place in Istanbul. He does love me. 😆

Lunch with a view of Galata Tower. Pizza with corn and hot dogs is better than I thought it would be.
