Turkish Delight (Turkey was the Legal Pad's favorite destination of the September trip)

Here Blogger is in Turkey hanging out with two Australian girls. They coulddn't resist my accent.

Blogger note: The sole purpose of posting this picture was to use that joke.

Istanbul has one of the most incredible skylines in the world, September is the perfect time of year to enjoy it, and the mixture of european and middle eastern cultures and all the stories that goes with it brings a history lover great joy.
Legal Pad and our fearless Youth Hostel Friend, Sar. Sar was crazy. We were also quite concerned that he had a misconception of the English Language. He seemed to believe that every sentence should begin or end with a word that I was raised not to use. He would talk in an extremely unique accent using absolutely horrifying language but with an earnestness of expression that indicated nothing but good will and fun. Very entertaining.
Ah yes, the view of the stairway that gave us access to the roof top hang out at our hostel. Right across the street was the rival hostel, the horrible, awful, dreadful, Big Apple Hostel. This is business rivalry at it's best. Hooting and hollering from one hostel to another at night, etc. Good stuff.
