This week, we traveled to Istanbul for a week and explored the mosques and the other important architecture that is present in the city. I have never experienced a culture like Turkey's before; the food and people was nothing like I expected. Spending a week in "New Rome" was a nice transition and connection to Rome. The highlights from the week were our extensive visits to Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque - the two that were right outside of my hotel room window! I am very fortunate that I was able to explore Istanbul and, thankfully, our professor was able to show us around with no problems.
