Going with Dave and meeting up with Deats in Istanbul, flying down to Bodrum, then working our way up the coast of Turkey.

Sightseeing and meeting with Fatih and Nargiza

Today we went to go see the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and walked around the Sultanahmet district.

Later on we met with Nargiza (www.travbuddy.com/Nurbanu) who took us on a small ferry ride to Maiden's Tower and to a great "stuffed potato" place (anyone know the Turkish name?). Fatih (www.travbuddy.com/ftuyzuz) joined us at the restaurant, and afterwards we all went out together to a cafe in Taksim. It was a lot of fun and Fatih and Nargiza were very energetic, friendly, and helpful in showing us around.

(more detail to come later!)
