Turkey

---

So I finally got off of the islands, which i don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, I was having so much fun but i think that it was time to leave. Not sure if my liver could take anymore abuse. So in other words, I loved Ios!!! Pretty much hungout on the beach for a few days and went to a few clubs at night. Hopped on a ferry to Naxos a few nights ago and then took an overnight ferry to Samos, From there I made a mad dash to get on the ferry to Kudurasi (I think thats how you spell it) where I spent a few days wondering the bazaars and eating kebaps. It was nice to relax on the beach and catch up on some sleep. Took the overnight bus last night to Istanbul where I am now... sat in traffic today and it reminded me of home, crazy drivers included. Checked out the blue mosque, very impressive. Will try and do some more sightseeing and shopping, Mom you would love this place, you bargain with everyone and everthing is dirt cheap. Will be leaving for Munich in 2 days. can't wait. Getting kicked off because the place is closing. hopefully have more to say when i get to munich.

till then,

Mike
