30.july.2010//30.temmuz.2010. [211].

i went to kınalı adası and burgaz adası today with esin! i had not been to these two islands before, so it was fun to go somewhere new! and a beautiful overcast, windy day.

29.july.2010//29.temmuz.2010. [210].

i was walking across the galata bridge and saw someone jump off of the bridge. melis and merve thought i was crazy but then we saw all of these guys.... CRAZY.

28.july.2010//28.temmuz.2010. [209].

i spent the day at the beach with a couple of families i know. we went a little off road and found a pretty unpopulated area, which is nice!

27.july.2010//27.temmuz.2010. [208].

after running around the city all day & going to the salı pazar one last time, i took these three ladies to get their noses pierced tonight! they were hilarious and i think the piercing guy thought we were all crazy. fun memory.

26.july.2010//26.temmuz.2010. [207].

today, i crossed a few things off of my to-do-before-i-leave list. one of them was seeing the Chora Church/Kora Kilisesi/Kariye Müzesi in Gaziosmanpaşa (in Istanbul). It's an incredible example of a Byzantine church and has beautifully preserved mosaics and frescoes.

25.july.2010//25.temmuz.2010. [206].

i spent most of the day at home, but enjoyed a fantastic sunset.

24.july.2010//24.temmuz.2010. [205].

we saw some massive fireworks in ortaköy from a rooftop tonight. it was pretty impressive... and an amazing ending to a great day.
