Alissa and Susan on our flight to Istanbul. We were lucky to get business class seats. It was amazing. I wish I could fly that way every time! :)
Happy to be in Istanbul.
My sister Alissa and I in The Blue Mosque.

This little boy was on his way to be circumcised. They dress the boys up in these circumcision outfits.

Even the ceiling was beautiful.

Finishing up at a Turkish bath. What an experience :)!
We ate sooo much good food. 
Here we are at our favorite place to eat with one of our favorite waiters.

What an amazing opportunity! My mother married a man from Turkey. She met him a few years ago, when she was teaching English there. They go back quite often.
I saw Turkey Day and thought it was a post about Thanksgiving :) Kept wondering why you were celebrating Thanksgiving at a mosque...
It looks like an incredible trip. I'm completely jealous and plan to nag Chris to take me to Turkey some time soon ;)
What an experience! I'm looking forward to seeing and hearing about the rest of your trip!!
