Istanbul, Turkey

There’s a palace in Istanbul that we went to that was magnificent! All of the rooms made you stop and stare in awe. The last room was the most grand out of all of them. It had a dome ceiling. It was so intricately carved and colorfully painted. It was gorgeous. The outside was amazing, too: gray and blue marble. The palace was also uniquely set right by the ocean.

One night at dinner time, we found a kebab restaurant. The kebabs were sooo good. They had a perfect mix of saltiness, spice, and herbs. We also had another delicious food: halva. It was puffy, chewy, syrupy, and oh so good.

There’s a bridge in Istanbul that connects two parts of Europe. On the bottom of the bridge there are dozens of restaurants. And, on the top, there are tons of people sitting on little folding chairs holding fishing rods. When you’re looking at the bridge from afar, all the fishing rods look like a big silk curtain down the bridge.

The mosques in Istanbul were incredible, especially the Blue Mosque. Tiny, shiny tiles of all the shades of blue blanketed the walls.
