Today was my last day in Turkey and I was really sad to say good bye. We started off the day by going to Topkapi, a Turkish palace that houses the largest diamond in the world. If I remember correctly it was 80 carats. All I can say is it would look good on my finger. The palace was beautiful. After the palace we walked around the city a little more to really soak in Istanbul before we left. We met up with Murat and Ishmet for baklava and to say our good byes. It was really sad to say good bye to our friends who had been so welcoming in showing us their home. The only thing I can hope is that they come to visit California and I can show them the same hospitality. We got back on our ship and departed for Bulgaria, the fun times and memories still lingering in the last rays of the sunset.
