İ`m in Tukey!

it `s still hard 2 belive! our travels went well. We caught every plain and all of our luggage was safely delivered back 2 us. When we got to our hotel and got our bags into our room, a couple of us went across the street to "cooked food" restaurant. w/a little help from sleep deprivation, 2 hours later we were all laughed out and leavıng there w/ some new Turkish friends. The sleep was GREAT, until 6 am when the call of prayer went off. İt goes off 5 tımes a day at each mosque! But already i don`t notice ıt as much. Fri. Morning we met our contacts and we toured İstanbul. İt,s beautiful! There R Mosques everywhere you look. We learned more about the culture and language. Sat. Morning we wentiınside of the "Eye of Ayasofia". a church built a long time ago to worship God, and taken over by Muslims and turned into a Mosque. But it is now a Museum. The inside is AMAZİNG! İ have a ton of pics! We leave 4 İzmir Wed. mornıng. it`s a 9 hour bus ride looking at the beautiful Turkish country side. İ`m doing GREAT and i`m excited 4 the next, more challenging part of this jouney. İ`ll try and keep my Blog updated, but my focas right now is on Turkey. İ love you all so so much!!!!! THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR PRAYERS!!!!
