Salty breakfast (same every day, same arrangement on plate - slab of feta cheese -g00d - 5 olives, 3 tomatoe slices, 3 cucumber slices, one butter, one jam, and a basket of sliced bread... good, but got old by the end), topaki museum trip turned into archeological museum trip. lots and lots and lots of really old junk, not too well displayed - i'm really getting a lot pickier about museums. cool stuff though, lots of real skeletons and paleolithic setups - they're a lot closer to their history there, and there's a lot more of it there then even europe. Wander over to bridge, lunch in a small small small restaurant - back of a doner kebab streetfront - that i think most people in the states would consider horrendous, it was kind of just part of the atmosphere there though and was very fitting. Broke our anti-mosque streak (we were waiting for the sun) with the Mosque New on the riverfront, large beautiful cold feet. Spice market traveling, more fragrent then the other bazaar, brighter and more fun but much smaller. this picture is from the plazza in front of the bazaar and mosque, and going to the riverfront. i don't understand why people feed the vermins.... you can see it's a muslim place from the clothes, pretty typical of everyone we saw there.
