Merhaba!

I am sure you are wondering why I titled this post "Merhaba" right? Well, I have a little surprise for you...I am posting from Turkey! I learned today that "Merhaba" means "Hello" in Turkish so I wanted to share this word with you. I just arrived yesterday to Istanbul, so I still have lots to see but let me tell you that what I have seen so far is spectacular. Today, I went to Buyukada, the largest of the nine s0-called Princes' Islands in the Sea of Marmara near Istanbul. I am in love with Istanbul, undoubtedly one of the world's greatest cities. I will be in Turkey for three weeks so I will be posting lots of pictures for you to see. So please come back and share with me your thoughts. If you have been here in Turkey before, please let me know your favorite places...I would love to visit your suggestions.
