Istanbul to Dohuk

We are so grateful for a somewhat uneventful trip. We were delayed about 20 hours after missing our connection in Toronto, but that's life. And there's always another adventure waiting for us right around the corner.

Saying goodbye to parents.

A friend we met along the way.

And then...

We finally made it to Istanbul!

On our last night in Istanbul, we watched the moon rise over the city and the Marmara Sea. It was an incredible sight.

Now...

...off to Kurdistan!

We took the land route (aka "the cheaper, longer way") - and though it took us all day, we got to see some amazing portraits of creation along the way.
