Souvenirs




Before arriving, I wanted one of these wee "Blue Eyes". I forget what the traditional name for them is. The only other thing I wanted was a rug, but I think they are totally out of our budget at the minute!







While we were shopping at the stall that sold the wee Blue Eyes, the vendor was also selling these wee Turkish carpet style purses so I got one of those too.







When we went to the Hammam on the first day (that feels like a MONTH ago now), I really loved the weird wee towel that you were handed as you walked in. It wasn't technically a towel as we knew it, but it totally did the job. I came away from the Hammam knowing that I would want to take one of them home with me. I also later learned that they are called Peshtemels. I got a chance to nip into the Old Quarter after the football and go to a stall where we had previously seen them for sale and I picked one up. Jason wasn't overly keen on them. He's going to be soooo jealous of me using mine back home though.
