On our way through the park to the mosque. I don't know the name of the park, but it was very beautiful. It is well manicured and had tons of bright, beautiful flowers.
Savannah, Kylie, and their new friend Morgan on the teeter todder.
The restrooms were inside this hill covered in flowers. You pay approx. 25 cents (not sure what the name of 25 cents is in Turkish currency) to use the restroom.
I was amazed at how bright these flowers were. The other neat thing about these flowers is there were tons of bees on them, but you couldn't really tell unless you stopped and looked really close. Can you spot any bees in this picture? Me either, but I'm positive there were a couple in there.
Getting closer to the mosque.
The Turkish people are fascinated w/ Americans...especially children. The kids were running around and playing in the park and every time Kylie ran past this couple, they would reach out and try to grab her. It sounds scary, but their culture has different boundaries (if any). When they got ahold of her, they were touching her hair and kissing her cheeks. We've been warned about this, but this was our first time seeing it. Savannah said "as soon as they saw her, they started kissing her...it was soooo weird." They were very nice and I asked them to take a picture with Kylie. Check out their kung-fu grips on her arms.
On our way back through the park. It was getting really hot out and the water felt nice on the feet.
Check out this cool close-up. What a neat flower.

Hello King Family
Just thought we'd say Hi and let you know we've really enjoyed reading your blog. The pictures are great!
Looks like not everyone is enjoying your new adventure as much as the rest, but I remember all too well being that age and just changing schools in the same city was torture!
Keep the posts coming, it's great to get a glimpse of Turkey!
