Greetings from Istanbul!
Our trip began with an hour flight to NYC's JFK airport, then a ten hour trip to Turkey. At the airport in Raliegh we saw former senator and vice-presidential nominee John Edwards. On the flight from JFK to Turkey I had two airplane seats to myself. I slept in every position imaginable on the flight over.
Once we checked into our hotel, we had an Efes Pilsen and Meza on the hotel's terrace overlooking the Marmara sea on one side and the Blue Mosque on the other side. After resting, we wandered the streets around the Blue Mosque and through the carpet bazaar. We had a wonderful dinner in the fish market district. Turkey's known for it's fantastic seafood. Lots of lively characters and warm friendly folks.
We have been eating and sight-seeing our way through Istanbul. Here are some picts from our adventures thus far. Stay tuned for more!
Cok Selam,
Sara
