My cute friend Rebecca and I decided to go on a two week tour of Greece and Turkey. It was AMAZING. Pictures definitely don't do what I saw justice, but here are just a few of the hundreds that I took. 
The Parthenon. 
The spice market and the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul were my favorite part of the whole trip. It was a shoppers paradise!!!
This is Hagia Sophia in Turkey. Inside is even prettier than the outside.
The island of Mykonos. Another one of my favorites.
Here is the story behind the three pictures above. We went to the house that Mary, the mother of Jesus, spent the last few years of her life (so they say...). Anyway, it is tradition for people to write down wishes and prayers on small pieces of paper and then put them on the wall asking Mary for help. I of course asked Mary for a husband. A little sacreligious I know, but thought it was hilarious. I can use all the help I can get ;)
The last place that we visited was Santorini. All of the buildings were blue and white. It was BEAUTIFUL. Better than I had imagined from seeing pictures in a book or in the movies.
The whole trip was an adventure. The perfect way to spend my 25th birthday.
