Istanbul - 1 River Ride, 2 Continents

The Bosphorus River runs through Istanbul connection the Marmara Sea with the Black Sea; however, it also is the division between Europe and Asia -- who knew?? Well, my husband, of course, but he knows everything!! =)

This afternoon we took the most wonderful boat cruise to the see the sights...


My colleague and friend, Mr. Moore




Fishing was popular all along the rivers edge and several crazy kids were swimming in the frigid water!





On the left side of the picture below is Europe and the right side is Asia...


Rumeli Castle


Certainly a highlight of our time here!
