Then Ay and I headed on a water taxi so I could cruise the Bosphorus! It was impressive to witness the sprawl of the city up and down the water front.

June 13th - Couchsurfing
Today I had my first experience with Couchsurfing.com. I connected with a local from Istanbul named Ay and she was kind enough to show me around her hometown. We went to the Hagia Sophia. This building is incredible because of the blend of Islam and Christianity. When the Ottomans conquered Constantinople and converted the Hagia Sophia to a mosque, they simply plastered over the Christian mosaics. See in some photos below!
