final day
On Wednesday, we had an all-day tour of "old town" Istanbul - saw the columns in the former Hippodrome area, the Blue Mosque, the Hagia Sofia, and the Topkapi Palace. I think we all agree that the Hagia Sofia was the highlight of the day. (The picture is of the inside.)
In the evening, we were able to stop by Ali's carpet shop, and spend sometime getting caught up with him (friend of the guys' from last year). Several made a few last-minute souvenir purchases, but no carpets. Pretty sure none of us had room! :)
Late that night we went to the airport to camp out for our early-morning flight on Thursday. Was a great time for us to re-cap, drink a lot of coffee, catch up in our journals, and maybe sleep for an hour or so.
Thank you all for keeping up with us while we were gone! The trip truly was amazing, and has given each of us a lot to think about. Now that we're home, we can tell you the rest of the stories in person. =)
