Well, today is my final day in the expansive and fascinating city of Istanbul. It is impossible to find another city that mixes Istanbul/Constantinople's history and culture in such a unique way. After visiting Chicago, London, Houston, Paris, and Munich, I can say Istanbul definitely possesses a distinct blend of heritage and culture. It has taken 3 empires and 3000 years to create what is now Turkey, and more people should experience it.
However, it's not all for naught, as my destination tomorrow is not the United States, but the Turkish city of Bodrum. Bodrum is a resort city on the Aegean Sea with an active nightlife and plentiful beaches. Expect some new pictures from the waterfront within the next couple of days. I leave you now, with a couple more images from my time in Istanbul.
