So unfortunately, I still don't really have time to write so much more about Istanbul- but a picture is worth a thousand words and I posted about 100 pictures, so that's plenty of writing. Today, the Olympic torch went through Paris (down my street!) so we went after class to see it. There were tons of people and even more "Gendarmes" (Cops) and CRS agents (basically the French FBI/Riot police) all over. The procession came through where we were standing, but evidently, due to I guess other attempts, like the London one yesterday (to put out the flame with a Fire Extinguisher) during its route today, they changed it, so the flame didn't pass right in front of us, unfortunately. But check out the pictures nonetheless, it was a cool experience!
Miss you all so much!

*I tried to upload the video of the Blue mosque, but I guess the internet was bad (surprise) and it wouldn't let me. Here are the links (two photo albums on Facebook) to the pictures I took in Turkey- they're only a fraction, since I took almost 300, in 2 days. I'm going to try and load the video here again once more, if not- I'll put it on Youtube and give you the link.

Thanks for reading my long posts- I hope you're enjoying the pictures and stories half as much as I am.
A good anecdote (at least for Kelly- and nan too), a man in the grand bazaar offered to buy Megan for 50 camels- but I had to refuse, saying that I already had 50 camels- lol Just Kidding- But he really did ask, and then I offered Jessica (my other friend with me) for 30 camels :P
Tchao!
