In search of the evil eye and soccer shirts

Text written in: English

Shopping.....trying to find our way back to places we found when lost.  Did pretty well actually.  

Then we went to find the mall.  You take the tram to the funicular to the metro.  The mall has its own stop.  You do have to go thru a metal detector at any entrance.  Mall is huge.....7 stories.  Lots of clothes and shoes and cosmetics.  One book store, one toy store. Roller coaster.

After that, we decided to see what was at the end of the tram.  We had been using the tram to get around to our tourist destinations, but had no idea what the rest of the city looks like.  Its really much more of the same, however, you do get to see the old walls.  We walked part way back, got off at the Grand Bazzar and walked thru one more time.  Some of the vendors we talked to before remembered us, so we got to give them a bad timea again.  Fun was had by all.   One more ride to the Blue Mosque  and then walked back to our hotel......

Somehow we have to pack.
