I arrived in Istanbul on Saturday and have been touring the city with my friend Gayle Beebe. We’re visiting the Westmont in Istanbul program, which was just recently launched. It’s a lot of fun having college students as tour guides and hanging out with them in this fantastic city!
Here are a few photos to share:
