We won a cruise to Greece, Croatia and Turkey!
Yes, we did - all expense paid - Air and cruise fare with a luxury suite on the Oceania Nautica. Even a butler. We bought the winning raffle ticket from my husband's Rotary International Club and in December we found out that we won! We could have taken a cash alternative prize (and then I coulda bought the new Mark III and a lens with the cash:dunno ) but then I would not have been to Santorini to show you this picture or one of the other 2999 that I took during the two weeks we were sailing, wine-ing and dining!: (more at http://www.pbase.com/chatkat/travel_2007)

We were able to tour Istanbul for three days. There is so much to see there. I have so many photos to work from the trip.
Just outside several of the major tourist sites, just like we'd see hot dog vendors in NYC, there were street vendors, but they had different wares to sell:
And while we might buy our dog food in the supermarket, they have entire streets where all the stores sell the same type of things. If you wanted lamps, there is the "chandelier" street; I will have to work up the photo of the photography street.
We went to the open air markets where most of the locals shop. This was the way Cat/Dog food was sold! (Kopek is Dog and Kedi is Kitty in Turkish!)
And finally, for today, Here is the Lottery Ticket Salesman - just outsside the Grand Bazaar. People there buy lottery tickets weekly or so.
