Been There Done That

               This post will be short and sweet just like our visit to Istanbul. We only had 22 hours in the city itself, and most of those were not spent touring. 2 and a half were spent driving from the airport to the hotel which ended up being by far the worst traffic jam I have ever been in. There’s always something new to experience. After arriving at the hotel, we went out to eat. I really couldn’t decide between all of the different kebabs they had, so I got the combination platter, which both was and wasn’t a mistake. The good thing about it was that the food was amazing! And the bad thing about it was that the food was amazing! I ate so much that I felt like I was going to pop.

               We woke up the next morning and quickly saw the outsides of both the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. In my opinion, the Blue Mosque looked way cooler, but I’ve heard the interior of the Hagia Sophia is quite spectacular. Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to wait for the opening because our plane was leaving. Maybe another day.

               We are now pretty much settled in back in the States and have begun the tedious process of looking for jobs. Although I’m sure there will be many more adventures to come, this will be the last one on this blog. I hope that you all have enjoyed following along on our trip. If I may, I would like to impart some lessons that both Hannah and I have learned from our experiences:

1)      It’s best not to go to Southeast Asia.

2)      Macedonian and Turkish food is amazing.

3)      Just because tests say you’re healthy doesn’t mean that you are.

4)      Trust God to provide.

5)      Traveling to different countries can be fun.

6)      It’s best not to go to Southeast Asia.
