Istanbul, Day 2

On our second full day in Istanbul, Aaron and I took the Bosphorus Strait ferry cruise to a little fishing village on the Asian part of Istanbul, a 1.5 hour trip (and a quick visit back to Asia on the European leg of my travel!). It was, as most of my visits have been, very picturesque. We climbed the hill up to some castle ruins and from there had a very peaceful view of the Black Sea then had lunch on the sea. Not on the sea, but you know what I mean. I wish I could post photos for you all but I'm only on internet cafe computers, etc. for a while ... hopefully soon, though! We've just gotten back from the ferry trip (6 hours in all) and are trying to figure out whether we can force our exhausted bodies into motion for the rest of the day.

Tomorrow is our last full day in Istanbul, so we want to see as much as possible! The city has amazing culture and character and has been a wonderful place to visit.

Missing you all! MUCH LOVE.
