Turkey has been on the list for a long time, and finally Kelly, April, Barbalee, and I made the trek!
First stop: Constantinople!! Istanbul was such fun, and so colorful.
 |
| Okay - We may have been a little excited to be there! |
 |
| Our hotel |
The food was phenomenal!
First stop the next morning: the Hagia Sophia!
Yep, that's me in most traveling pics -
daypack on the front, earphones for a tour when available!
 |
| Sorry it's blurry - but these gorgeous figures were all created from intricate mosaics |
 |
| Mmmm-mmm. Fresh pomegranate juice! |
Coming soon: the Blue Mosque
But first, a quick peek into the Cisterns!
Directly opposite the Hagia Sophia is the Blue Mosque.
Next? Topkapi Palace!
And finally, a trip up the Bosporus ~
