Istanbul: Definitely not the Middle East




I still don't really feel like writing a blog. So here's a link to my photo album for Istanbul. Highlights include the Topkapi Palace, the Blue Mosque, the Hagia Sophia (pictured above), the Dolmabache Palace, and the Grand Rue de Pera. Make sure to check out the three videos at the end, taken from the famous Galata Tower.

I'm at a hotel in Izmir right now. Off to Selcuk and the ancient ruins of Ephesus tomorrow.

  1. #s: 7,12,14,26,35,62 (Dad with the 6'7 Turkish soldier),74,78, and the videos 88, (89 wasn't working when I tried to view it), and 90 were really cool.

    #13 looks exactly like the honeycomb structure at Saint John's Abbey at SJU.

    Remind Dad to look for a little collectors bell for me and I wouldn't mind a flag to hang on a wall either.

    Enjoy your time before your language camp.
