Saturday April 17--- Istanbul

Woke up this morning not feeling goood at alll.... Was up alll night long!! My stomach was killing and I ended up throwing up in the morning... Turkish food not too good for me. I dont like it to begin with, everything smells and it was just so gross. The salad and bread is good but the rest is yuckkkk no wonder i threw it up!! It was a slow morning. I slept or tried to, it was poouring. So we ended up hanging around in the hotel until like 1 oclock. 2 girls are shomer so they didnt mind and lauren and hailey just wanted to wait till I got better. Our plan was to go to the Grand Bazaar for the whole day but I couldnt move and I was dieingggg to go buy really cool things especially becasue its closed sundays. So we waited till I got a little better and went. I stilll reallly didnt feel good my stomach was killing but theres so muchh I wanted, how culd I not go. SO we went. I was trying really hard to think logically about what I wanted and what I wanted to get people but I was so delirious- I really didnt feel good. I ended up getting some cool things for me and others but theres a lot I didnt get and I reget it now. I got really pretty hand painted bowls and dishes, a lamp for my room,a hookah, someturkish tea and coffee and some other things. Turkey is known for their tea sets because they are everywhere and tea is there thing. I reallly wanted to buy a tea set--- they selll them everywhereeee and theres a million different kinds. I found one I like but I didnt feeel good so I wasnt thinking and I didnt want to carry, my whole body ached so I didnt buy it and now im sooooooooooooo upsettt :( Also- theres some other things I mean to buy now but didnt. It was all about baragining there, you had to bargain for everythinggggggggggggg!! And its all men there, no women and they are screaming at you left and right to get you to come into their stores. Every store literally sells the same thing--- jewelery, fake hand bags, hand made plates and bowls leather, lamps, or hookahs. Some of the stores where we all bough a lot, they gave us turkish tea. in one place I was sitting, waiting for everyone and the guy knew I was sick so he got me tea. We spent a very long time in there, I think we stayed till close at 7. Towards the end I just kept sitting in the floor everywhere, I really didnt feel well. When we got to the hotel I just passed out. We were supposed to celbrate rebeccas birthday tonight and take her out to dinner but I couldnt move, I made everyone else go out though. They went to a belly dancing restaurant--- im so sad I missed it that was my idea from the start, so I was soooo upsettt... But I couldnt movee
