Rain in Istanbul

The last two days of our trip to Istanbul it has been raining, and not a small amount either.

You can see the rain running down the street, however you can’t tell it’s about 4-6 inches deep!

One of the guys at the hotel was laughing when we came in so we asked him to take our picture.
