A Slow Day

Today was a slow day. We got out of the house by late afternoon, and went on a walk along the Bosphorus river that separates the European and Asian part of Istanbul. Watched ferries, cruise liners and small boats sail on the river. The kids enjoyed playing at the park by the river.

Walking through the cisek pasaji, and other shops, window shopping..

How do women in Niqab eat in public?

We found our way to a local Indian restaurant for dinner. The kids were intrigued as some ladies in traditional Niqab came to the restaurant to eat. We got the answer as the ladies raised side of the face covering to eat, without revealing their faces. What a tradition!
