Sunday, November 9 "Walk and shop"
I walked with Lacey and Aeden to Armada and back, then walked with Maren and Aeden all around the market area for key shops again. Too tired!
At the market today there was a Protex (a brand of soap) booth set up and attracting quite a bit of attention. We soon saw why. When the characters began approaching us, Maren got scared so I snapped the picture and we walked away. Scary germs!
At Armada we finally ventured into the "Loco Poco" toy store (a chain of toy stores in all the expensive malls). We found all kinds of interesting things, like Hot Wheels cars for 11 YTL each and sippy cups (the Take & Toss semi-disposable kind) for 25 YTL per package of 4. For those of you not familiar with the price points on these items, these prices are sky-high. It was interesting browsing. I did find a great board book about colors in Turkish, full of sturdy sliding doors for Aeden (and the rest of us!). Lacey and Aeden spent some time riding the toys, and they were as happy as could be without even powering them up with coins. Lacey suggested it, and I could remember my mom telling someone about how the "nice" man had ruined the rides at the grocery store for me by putting in a coin one day...since I hadn't even known that was an option before. Anyway, you can see that Aeden had more serious business going on while he was driving. Much too busy to bother to look up for a photo!
