Istanbul, Turkey

Lily took us to Istanbul today. The only city in the world that sits on two different continents. We saw mosques, the Bosphorus Strait, and tasted goat cheese. At a traditional Turkish wedding the couple receives lots of gold coins but Lily flipped the tradition and brought us gold coins instead! (Okay, gold coins filled with chocolate, but they were still gold!)
