Exotic! Exciting Istanbul

Okay after a bad first night in Turkey, the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th have definately made up for it!!  This city is exciting and everyone should come here once in their lifetime!

---

It is exotic, yet familiar, fascinating but not intimadating to the traveler.

---

Must see is the Blue Mosque!  It is spectacular...hearing the call of prayer ringing throughout the city, took me back to my roots and it was so nice to share this with Ryan! 

---

Taksim Square was the street where we were running down the night before trying to get away from the "bad guys" although touristy, it is really full of energy and a great place to shop, eat and wander!

---

Four days is not enough time to even start to discover this beautiful city, country..I wish I could have done so much more, like the turkish bath, visit the museums...but I hope to be back.

---

Life just got a little more exciting!  Ry and I got the job together and are off to Botswana for our first project and training!!!!  We have a ticket going back to Belgium..because originally we were supposed to meet Tom...but looks like we can't work for Kidzpace, we have to jump on this opportunity while we can!  So, from Belgium we will be there for 2 days, then go to Spain to fly out to Africa!!!!
