Ramada Kaya Plz Istanbul

After excaping the Nıgerıan boys from Greece we leave late afternoon from Thesanolınkı for İstanbul as soon as we get out of Greece and ınto dangerous terrıtorıes the perverts seized and ıt was peaceful agaın we got nıce rıdes we hıtched and got to the border at lıke 3am where our rıde dropped us off at the border and then turned around because he ...

"Well actually no, we're doing the M word."

"Yeah, you can't even say it around here or you'll get in trouble"

"The M word?" I asked.

"Uh, yeah...we're with a missionary group."

"Oh, that's cool," I said...though I didn't really think it. "Oh so how many people in your group and stuff and, how old are you guys?"

"Oh I'm 18."

"Yeah, and I'm 16, but we're really pretty all over the place, like one guy's 27 and some other ...

... reach Sultanahmet, we have been walking all morning and half the afternoon and our feet are complaining-Judith now has blisters on her feet. After some poking around, we find a good restaurant and have a typical Turkish lunch of grilled chicken with pita bread. The meal sated out appetites but what we really needed was to take a siesta, so, back on our tired feet, we returned to the hotel and crashed. Tomorrow we explore the Archeological Museum.

We have popped ınto a few carpet shops here and there, takıng a look at dıfferent ones, prıces etc. Unfortunately- thıs means that by the tıme we arrıved back ın Istanbul, I was feelıng more than anxıous about tryıng to buy one- we dont know a lot- but we know enough to recognıze when a dealer ıs beıng unscrupulous. Serıously- not EVERY carpet ın your store can be done wıth only natural dyes, not EVERY carpet ın your store took 12 ...

... the western part of the city, and i live in rumeli-hisari, which is up in the east side, right near sariyer and the bogaz border with asia. please pray for peace. i don't know who is responsible for this heinous crime but it scares me and upsets me that people think that killing innocent people is the only way to get their point across. Please, pray for peace

Just because I'm a long ways away from san fran, doesn't mean i havent looked at the scores of the giants games. losing to KANSAS CITY is unacceptable. correia doesn't sound like he is ready to be back in the rotation. then again, neither was pat misch. therefore, i would like to initiate a state of emergency for the giants and hope that they get someone like cc sabathia in the near future. hey, we can only hope, right?

... time, the guy was flying, possibly to try to break his last record in getting from Airport to Hotel. Hotel Serkeci Konak is a small 57 room hotel. Too large to be boutique, but definitely the feel of one. When we arrived, we were warmly greeted by several of the staff and given some Apple flavored fruit tea. I love it when hotels start on the right foot by offering you a little something while checking in. We sat on the couch and checked in the way you would if you ...

... told us to go with whatever he recommended, so we cut him short and asked him what we should eat. "2 daily specials coming right up", and I must say it was simply wonderful, possibly even one of the best meals we have had yet and that is saying a lot since we have been in love with all of the food here. Next we were off to Aya Sofya, across from the Blue Mosque and one of Istanbul's most famous monuments. It was built by Emeror Justinian and completed in 537 as part of ...

... collections. A lot of neat stuff! The coolest exhibition though was definitely the royal jewels!!!! We really didn't know what we were going into - we just followed the crowd into a crowded room with no A/C....only to discover the most beautiful rubies, emeralds and DIAMONDS! I think the diamond was about 44 carats. INSANE. They also had weapons just covered in humongous jewels. So beautiful! They wouldn't let us take any pictures though, so we are kind of bummed that we ...
