And the Grand Bazaar....well, I am just hyper-ventilating just thinking about being there!!!<br />CarolCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04313746189566556221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312145685876120575.post-34582755097770326062011-07-17T10:34:26.165-04:002011-07-17T10:34:26.165-04:00I'm gloating here...but I have never heard of ...I'm gloating here...but I have never heard of that old song!

One could imagine them on the hand of a Sultan or other Arabian or Turkish Potentates. Tales of Scheherazade! <br />I really need to get out into the world, that ancient Grand Bazaar in Istanbul looks amazing, would love to see it in person. Whenever I think of Istanbul a very old song crosses my mind; “It’s Istanbul not Constantinople”, guess I’m showing my age as I was very much alive when that song hit the radio stations ... and gee I think those were the days of AM stations, FM hadn’t caught on back then. =OAlmost Precioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02349435936032378395noreply@blogger.com
