Field Trip Report from Liz

Hello Family, Friends, and other loyal readers,
Since our time here in Istanbul is quickly coming to an end, the last few days have been very busy as we are trying to fit in everything we said we'd do later. :) One of the adventures that Randa, Alyssa, Julie Brill, and I partook in was the Bosporus Tour.
The Bosporus Tour is pretty self-explanatory as you can imagine. You ride on a ferry up the Bosporus and eventually arrive at the mouth of the spectacular Black Sea. It was so fun and the scenery was, as I said, spectacular.
Once the ferry docked we climb a huge hill to what use to be a very strategically-placed castle. From the hill, we could see the Black Sea looming in front of us, and if one turned around, the Bospourous and the city of Istanbul could be seen through a foggy haze. The pictures we took don't give it justice and my eyes will never be content with Lake Michigan again.
I love you all very much and cannot wait to show you my pictures and tell you my stories in person!
