Thanksgiving weekend in Athens

The following pictures are of a side trip we took to Delphi. In the 6th century BC, Delphi had become the Sanctuary of Apollo and thousands of pilgrims came here to consult the oracle.

We took a side trip on the the way home from Edirne to find this gorgeous bridge. Well worth the 3 hour detour to see a "bridge".

The following are pictures of a weekend trip to Edirne, Turkey. It is a small border city that has beautiful mosques.

The following pictures are of a weekend trip to Istanbul. It was a short flight for a quick weekend trip. The pictures are of the Aya Sofya, Blue Mosque, The Hippodrome, Grand Bazar and the Spice Market. Following these pictures is the main event of the trip the Istanbul Eurasia Marathon / 8k.

Eurasia Marathon or BUST!!!
The following pictures are of us picking up our race packets and the incredible 8k run from Asia to Europe. My cheeks hurt more than my legs at the end from smiling the entire race :) Amazing experience!
