Turkey: Day 7.

Ah! Last day in Turkey. What a whirlwind!

We woke up early, and it was quite the day.

We first went to the Mosque where we got to wear head scarves. That was unplanned and brief but good.

All the girls!

And then we went to the silk market which was really cool.

After that we went to Nicea! Lake Nicea and some churches. Pretty fun.

The white shirt club!

Lake Nicea with Nicole.

Then lunch and our ferry ride! The ferry ride was fun because there was the CUTEST dog there. And it's owners were actually super nice to us because they let us take lots of pictures of it and they helped us get a good shot. Like they brought the dog over to this side of the car for us. So nice. :)

With Jeff Perry. :)

Cuteeeee dog! :)

After the ferry, we drove to Istanbul to Hagia Sofia! Yippee!

It was pretty big but not really as big as I was expecting. Mostly because nothing is that big once you've seen St. Peter's.

We took lots of fun shots in there. :) Like the best one of the trip.
Ceiling!

("Carry me!")

We went to the bazaar where I got a $6 Istanbul shirt which was a steal! And then we finally got Magnum bars which were delicious! Last ones in Turkey. :(

We had a fish dinner (not the best) and then we headed to the airport.

The flight home was obviously enjoyable. We left at 12. Flew for 2 or so hours. Got fed dinner at 1 in the morning on the plane (which was delicious as always). Landed in Tel Aviv, went through customs which was a breeeeeze. And then drove home. Getting home at 3:30 in the morning? Always good.

Turkey was the bomb. :)

(Which, speaking of bombs, there was a bomb in Turkey when we were there but they didn't tell us! Yay!)
