I feel like every other time I write here I have done something else that might be the coolest thing I have done since I have been here. I went to the Princes' Islands, specifically Büyükada (which means Big Island in Turkish). The Princes' Islands are right off the coast of Istanbul and are really really cool. There are 9 islands in all, four larger and five smaller. Büyükada is the largest and has the largest population. I think my favorite part about the islands is that all cars, except service vehicles, are forbidden. The only way to get around the island is foot, bicycle, or horse drawn carriage. We had some great times. Below is the proof.
