Travel and Istanbul

The bus left at 7:30am for Istanbul, and we arrived around 2:00pm. I convinced my girlfriend to go to McDonald’s for lunch, and we found they play loud Muzak versions of old English-language pop songs - we heard “How Deep is Your Love,” “Close to You,” and something my girlfriend said was by the Beatles, but I didn’t hear what. We relaxed a bit in the hotel room, and a while later I went over to Istiklal Caddesi to look around. I got back just as dinner was beginning, and ended up having another omelet. We said goodbye to everyone when dinner ended, and watched some Deutsche Welle before going to bed.
