Istanbul...

So, as you may know, I´ll be heading out to Athens, the Greek Isles, and Turkey over the next week and a half or so (edit: Already done the first two, on my way to Turkey tomorrow). So it´ll be a while until I can post any more updates (but I´m sure the flurry of posts I'll be posting upon my return - yes, about Madrid and Spain, finally - will keep you busy for a while). Until then, I leave you with my first encounter with Near East culture.



Hopefully, next time: Posts about Spain - Granada, Madrid, my host family, classes, and the Metro system - and the journey to the Eastern Mediterranean region.
