Hi everybody,

Sorry that i havent been replyıng to hotmail, there appears to be some problem with accessing it from thıs computer. İf there is anything urgent email my mcmaster account haytonsj@mcmaster.ca.

Anyways the trıp has had an ınterestıng start. Hıghlights include a kid throwing up on me duriıng my flight and Dad and İ beıng quite sıck during the first few days, we've only just recovered. We have been spending quite a bit of time in the historic centre of the town. Yesterday we vısıted the blue mosque, whıch is a huge old mosque. We visited the old ottoman Topkapi palace today. A very ınteresting place, saw mohammed's (yeah, the mohammed) sword and bow... very impressıve.

By the way, i should appologize for any errors in my spelling, but the turkish keyboard has some keys in strange places...

Well, Dad and İ are heading out for dinner now. We will be leavıng tomorrow night for cappadocıa so i'm not sure when i will give another update.
