Shooting by the Acqueduct.
As we tried to find our way to the Sultanhmet Mosque we ran into the Roman Acqueduct that once brought water to the city. There we found an old man sitting under an umbrella. He had set up a makeshift shooting gallery with the Acqueduct walls as his backdrop and a few cans and bottles as the targets. So...once we heard the shots and saw the guns, we could not stop from going over and see if we could give it a shot (sorry for the pun). Jake - as it happens - is quite the marksman...and he tried his hand at the rifle and the pistol, with equal success. I had a couple of lucky shots myself...and so we left, feeling energized and manly. It's weird how two guys that don't approve of war or shooting animals still can't help but enjoy shooting guns.
