Today we visited the Spice Market - which also included the Flower Market, Bird Market, and just about anything you could imagine...
Here is a street vendor (can be found everywhere in Istanbul) outside of the Marketplace.
The New Mosque which is adjacent to the Market
Interior of the Spice Market
These are dried vegetables that you can purchase for cooking
Belly Dancer costumes...
And leeches - I told you, you can find everything!
A variety of chickens, ducks, geese, etc. for sale
And people feeding the pigeons outside the market and Mosque
And then there was this gentleman.... An interesting cross between Elton John and a clown, but bonus points for coordinating his shoes.
A really lovely place; however it had many aromas - not particularly good for the heightened sensitivity of my pregnant nose!
