Hey Everyone!
Istanbul is an amazing city! I have had so much fun here, and while I am at it, I am also going to post some pictures from Halloween on the ship, and going through the Suez Canal.

Turkey….!
It rained the whole time we were there and it was freezing!
The outside of the egyptian spice bazaar- different than the GRAND bazaar
Me and Jen played dress up at a belly dancing store
Then we ate lunch at a place near the Grand Baazar which was delicious
And then we played dress up some more!
this shop owner insisted that we dress up like traditional Turkish woman and take pictures….it was pretty fantastic

From August to December of 2007 I will embark on a journey around the world through Semester At Sea. This is a blog for my friends and family to read about my travels and experiences abroad! Wish me luck!

Miranda, Wow, I loved your photos and I am so glad we got a chance to see them. We are just pulling out to go to the desert. You look great!!! Especially in the Turkish garb and of course the belly dancing outfit. Dad can't comment right now, he gets too emotional when he sees new photos of you. Yes, I am serious! We love you so much!!! Keep enjoying the journey and making new friends around the world. Same & more, Mom
Cluck-cluck is right! Nice photos - was that bridge the one over the Bosphorus, between 2 continents? Liked you as a Turk woman and a belly dancer. Better costumes than that place here in SLO, that's for certain. Looking foward to photos of Hagia sophia, the Blue Mosque, etc. Did you see the Topkapi? Looks like too much fun was had by all ={;-) -- onward to Dubrovnik! Love, Dad
Miranda - loved the pics of you with Turkey in the background. What fun to play dress up and you looked so perfect. Your hair looks like it has grown 5 inches or more. What - no animals to ride?? Must be hard to resist some of the shopping. Things look so great. Love you much - Grandma

Hey Miranda,
I love your new Turkey pics! You look so pretty in all of them- your hair has gotten really long! The pics of you dressed up in the Turkish clothes were awesome! I liked the belly-dancing costume. It looks like you're having a lot of fun! I think about you often and miss you tons!!!
Love,

Dear Miranda,
Loved the pics of you in Turkish clothing. Hope your sightseeing etc. continues to be special times. Good luck in all your classes and on all your trips. We think of you often and so does Sarah. Can't believe how much of the world you have seen and you still have more to go! Looking forward to seeing you and hearing about your expeditions. Blessings always, Janice and Danny
That's awesome you got to dress up in all those cool clothes. The belly dancer get up was pretty sweet. You look gorgeous in all your photos! Glad to see that you're having an awesome time visiting all these cool places. Stay safe and keep taking awesome pictures! Love, Diane
Hey you: What great pictures, especially the belly dancing outfit and the other clothes. I hope you brought something back with you..it all looked so fun! Grandma is right..your hair is sooo long! I also loved the picture with all the domes and minarets in the background...that was breathtaking. You are freezing and we are boiling here in Cali...in the nineties yesterday, and I bet your folks are cooking it up out in the desert, too. We might get to see them over Thanksgiving, per your mom. Fingers are crossed! Love, Aunt Nancy
