Hello from Istanbul, everyone! Robby is currently trying to pull some photos from a USB flashdrive that contains my camera's SD card. Interesting contraption we found here.
Anyway, we've spent almost 5 days in Istanbul, we've seen all there is to see, and we're ready to head off to Capadoccia. We've visted the Blue Mosque, the Aya Sofia, the Grand Bazaar (which reminded us of the LA shopping district), the Chora Church, Taksim Square & the cool Ishtiklal (full of young, fashionable Turkish people), & a cruise up the Bosphorous Strait toward the Black Sea. We've met one loquacious Turkish tourist police officer who followed us as we looked for our hotel, gave us directions, and invited us to dinner, one Floridian who is teaching English in Moscow, a middle-aged Dutch couple, and Canadian newlyweds who are on their belated honeymoon. The Turkish people are extremely kind and helpful, and the ones who speak English try to help us in every way when we look like we're in need for help.
We're looking forward to exploring other parts of Turkey. Beaches, underground cities, chartered buses, here we come!
Bye for now!
