Istanbul, Turkey

Istanbul, Turkey, was neat day for us. We walked all over that city and saw tons of things. Our main goal was to see the Blue Mosque which was far away from our ship. Everyone told us we couldn't walk it, but we did, and we got in after prayer time. It was really beautiful and weird to be in. I had to cover my head in both the mosques we went to, and we both had to take off our shoes in them. The women pray in one room and the men pray in the main part. We also had a great lunch. Tres had a weird pizza thing, and i had fresh bread with fresh tomotoes, cheeses, and spices. We also got a huge, chocolate dessert! It was delicious. We liked it there, and it was fun to walk around. We also saw a live volcano the other night spewing out fire. It was amazing. It is called Stromboli. This is definitely a neat experience.
