Hafta sonu İstanbul'da: The weekend in Istanbul

Alex had his midterm exam on Thursday (and did better than he expected, of course!) and had Friday free. So we spent the weekend being tourists together, which was great fun. I already mentioned the shopping, but we also spent a good many hours in the Archaeology Museum, went to one of the Prince's Islands (Kızıl Adalar), and ate out a lot :D
Here are some of our photos from the weekend:
Alex takes care of lions everywhere!

Cybele, a goddess who's got what it takes!
