Turkish Delights

What a day!

Here are some of today's highlights:

 Breakfast at our hotel, with awesome view and friendly Australian tourists.

 Hagia Sophia! Originally built by Constantine in the 4th Century.

 Blue Mosque. It got really windy...and then really rainy.

At the Topkapi Palace, we were mostly amused by things like this. I am such an American...

Views of Asia from the Europe side of Istanbul.

Tasty drinks to warm us up!

And a Turkish Bath to finish off our night. Very relaxing :)

Random tidbits:

-Everyone is SO friendly and helpful here! We are loving it.
-People think we are sisters or twins. Pretty funny.
-People also think we are much younger than we really are. No one believes I'm older than 21 (much less 25).
-Apparently you have to put your hotel key in a little compartment on the wall in order for your electricity to work. If you don't, you will think that your power is somehow not working, like we did :)

That's all she wrote (for now).

Lots of love from Turkey!
