Istanbul!

After an exhausting day or so of traveling, we finally made it to Istanbul, Turkey! The flights went well, but between the time differences, not getting much sleep because of packing, and only taking short naps at a time on the planes, I’m ready for a good night’s sleep.

The city is huge, and we are staying right near the center of it. There is a great bustling energy (especially on a Friday night) that helped give us some energy from the moment we stepped outside the airport. There’s lots to do and see, and we have our own tour guide, bus, and bus driver during our stay in Turkey. Today we only met with our guide and ventured to get dinner and explore a little, but we have a busy day planned for tomorrow.

Now I’m off to bed!
