Right now I'm in Marmaris, a town not far from the Aegean sea. I'll tell you what I did in Istanbul. I went to the famous blue mosque which had six minarets and the tiling on the inside which was blue. I also visited Highia Sophia where my sister Sophia got her name. My favourite place was the turkish naval museum. Which had warships from world war one. Galata tower was fascinating and I went vertigo just by going on the balcony. We went to istakal ave. on a tram where I overeacted about an upset stomach.
After Istanbul we flew on a plane to Cappadocia. It is in the Eastern part of Turkey. The best part is we slept in a cave. We explored. We went to the cavern cities where the Hittites and early christians settled. We saw an extinct volcano which formed hoodoos. We climbed the uchisar castle and journeyed across zelve valley.
Then we flew to Marmaris, the town I mentioned earlier. We traveled to both the Medetariannian and the Aegean sea. I visited my cousins. I even played mortal combat a (video game) with them. We went to the ancient city of Ephesus. Ephasus is where Paul preached and was home to the Ephesians. We also went to an abandonded Greek town called Kayakoy. We drove down the datcha peninsula and went to the ruins of Knidos.
I love turkey but still, there is no place like home.
Thanks for the update Steele and for the new words I learned today. Keep having fun!

Steele and familiy,
ReplyDeleteSounds like your adventure is still full of new and exciting things. The aquarium in your last post sounds amazing, as does the rest of your travels through Turkey.
Take care!
