Ridgefield WA, Istanbul Princess Island part 2

Our last day in Istanbul turned out to be very nice.  We were still on the Princess Island and took a horse "taxi" up to an old church, yes a christian church.  The church is on a hill over looking the sea and Istanbul.  It is a steep walk and the faithful used to do it barefoot or even on their knees as a form of devotion.  We did see a couple of people barefoot.

We enjoyed some very nice views and a small meal at the top before heading back to finish up our weekend.  Had a great time in Istanbul, time to head back to the USA
