ISTANBUL

We have arrived finally in Istanbul, Shannon, who has gladly taken us in, is awesome, she has an amazing apartment overlooking Bosphorus Straight. Lindsay is already passed out, its 6:30 here, but for some odd reason I'm wide awake with LOTS of energy!!! We are hearing all the hot spots to see from Shannon, who has lived here just over two years now. Tomorrow we are on our own armed with maps and a terrible sense of direction we are bound to have a few laughs and an amazing time!!!

took this picture from the plane flying over the Bosphorus Straight today.



Also currently overhearing the call to prayer, performed five times a day, from inside her apartment THIS IS SOOOOOO AWESOME
