We got back to the big K yesterday morning at 6:30 and have just been recovering ever since. I haven't posted in a few days because I haven't been feeling well.
On Tuesday evening, we went to the Four Seasons Hotel for dinner because we had read that they have the best hotel restaurant in Istanbul. Not hard to believe, really. And everything was delicious, including the complimentary appetizer the chef sent out to us that was a shrimp cake topped with gnocci. Then, we had sweet corn lobster bisque. Ummmm, hello! So yummy. We shared a little pasta starter: tagliatelle with cream sauce and mushrooms. And I had lamb shanks for my main course and Huzz had the Sea Bass. And then for dessert, we shared the warm chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. And it was the kind of cake the oozed out rich chocolate fudge when you cut into it.
The next morning, I woke up with 5 mosquito bites on my arm, around my elbow. Well, I thought they were mosquito bites, but they quickly spread all over my body, focusing on my head and ears. I got hives.
I remedied the situation by taking Benadryl regularly until we got back yesterday, but I was still miserable and they seemed to be getting worse. So, I called the medical clinic and we went in. The doctor gave me another histamine blocker to use with the Benadryl and I think I'm slowly getting better. Since last night, the hives have focused on my hands, though. My fingers are about twice their normal size and look like sausages and they itch so bad!
We are going to a play tonight at the local college with our friends, Matt & Jonna. I am just hoping I can focus on the play and not scratch myself to death during the performance.
I will try to post the rest of my pictures from Istanbul and finish telling stories. I have another pretty funny story, involving an aqueduct and a shoe shine!
