Rocky made it to Turkey and appears to already be having a fun and interesting time. They are still in Istabul and are traveling tomorrow to Ankara. Ankara, Capadocia and Derinkuyu (underground city) are her next steps. Here's the text of the e-mail we received from her today:
Kay, so I would have emailed you right when I got to the hotel to let
you know neither of our planes had plunged into the ocean, but the
internet hasn't been working in the hotel until now. It's been a busy
couple of days; our flight got delayed a couple of times yesterday, so
I don't think we got in the air until 7 pm our time, and we had to
scurry from one flight to another in Amsterdam because they we're
holding our second plane for us. We had the afternoon to ourselves
once we landed (it was about 4:00 pm local time when we got to the
hotel;we're 7 hours ahead here), so Jess, Juls, Rebecca and I headed
over to the "Egyptian Market" a cool street where they sell spices and
turkish delight and stuff. Today, we did a walking our of Istanbul; we
toured the architecture museums (there were lots of cool statues! I
was pleased!), the Blue Mosque, the cistern, and the Hagia Sophia
(sooo cool, I loved the mosaics). It's been lots of fun thus far. I'd
write in more detail but I'm paranoid that the internet is going to
cut out again, so...
Love,
Rachel
