Getting Bossy on the Bossy

After a couple days of sightseeing, we were ready for a low-key boat cruise up the Bosphorus.  It was a sunny, warm day, and we had lunch at a small fishing village just below the Black Sea before catching the boat back late in the afternoon and returning to the dock under the Galata Bridge in Istanbul.

Istanbul is the only city in the world that straddles two continents, and it's the Bosphorus River, a straight between the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara, that splits the city.  As is possible in Europe, we've had breakfast, lunch and dinner in three different countries (France, Italy and Switzerland), but on this day we ate breakfast in Europe and lunch in Asia.  Pretty cool.

Abby negotiated for a new wrap with a vendor on the boat.  I must say she got a pretty good price for that rainbow action!

Fresh fish, of course.  And local.  Dorado and Red Mullet.

We all SCREAM for ice cream!  Note the self-painted tee shirts . . .
