Istanbul: slept in… need coffee

So much for an early start today. Missed my included breakfast on the view rooftop terrace. Though I did wake up a few times earlier, and hear the 5:45am call to prayer.

Now I need to grab some breakfast/lunch and meet a local friend of a friend for coffee in 90 minutes to get some 411, and hopefully some pronunciation help.

Did I mention last night that there is Starbucks here, inc. at the airport? I know, not the best coffee, but it’s comforting and consistent for my particular order. And I read in the guidebook that finding a good cup of coffee is surprisingly difficult here (and Turkish coffee is less common than you would think).

Side note for quick impressions: lots of stray cats here.
