Last weekend I went to Istanbul - what an amazing city! Tessa and I stayed with her best friend Greta, who is teaching at an international school there. This made for a completely different experience than I think we would have had if we had gone our own.
Istanbul had been high on my list of places to see and it didn't disappoint! The history, the fact the city is in both Asia and Europe, the religions, the architecture, the hammams, the amazing food - wow, what a place!

Turkish Breakfast
(notice all the cheese!)
Before our Hammam experience - it was amazing! Body scrub, bath, and massage - all while wearing absolutely nothing! It definitely made me more comfortable being naked . . .
