Turkish bath and Turkish carpet showroom

I got to a locals Turkish bath by letting the turkish carpet salesman talk to me at the blue mosque. I was standing outside the blue mosque when a sales man offered to show me the entrance to the blue mosque. He hung out and took me to his carpet place.  The carpets were very expensive.  I felt bad so I ended up buying some expensive scarves.  As bonus I was taken to a Turkish bath where the local men go.  It was my first Turkish bath.  I had the deluxe version.  I laid on a hot marble slab, got scrubed and stretched by a guy.  The a hot oil massage. A towel dry down.  I am now resting I'm a tiny room waiting for my heart rate to come down.
