Bosphorus Tour

Another great thing about all the holidays here is that we never just get one day off. Because the actual holiday is so busy and exhausting for the kids, the next day is a day off to rest!! I LOVE IT. So May 20th - the day after Sports Day -Selma, Julie, and I decided to be tourist and take a Bosphorus Cruise! (the Bosphorus Strait is the body of water seperating Europe and Asia). It was a little overcast and windy but we still had a great time being together. Going back and forth to Asia and Europe, I've gone across the Bosphorus several times, but it was neat to ride it from the bottom all the way to the top where it dumps into the Black Sea. The cruise lasted about 2 hours and then we stopped at Anadolu Kavagi for a few hours to eat lunch and explore. We climbed up to the top to see this famous castle, which was cool...but the best part was the view from up there. There is a picture of the 3 of us, where you can see the opening into the Black Sea (and see how windy it was!)
