Istanbul

We got home last night, but I wanted to write a bit more for anyone who may be still reading the blog. :)

Our time in Istanbul was packed! Hard to see such a huge city in only a few days, but we managed to get to most of the important things . . .

On Sunday, we saw the archaeology museum, took a nap in the park, and watched the whirling dervishes. Monday was the boat tour of the Bosporus, and a hike up to a castle overlooking the mouth of the Black Sea. In the evening, we headed over to Uskudar for ice cream.

Abigail and I were also able to spend some wonderful time with Sena and her friend from work. Was pretty hard to say goodbye again.

Tuesday had us touring the Dolmabace Palace, hopping the bus to Ortakoy for what should be world-famous waffles, and spending the evening on Freedom Street.
