Hagia Sophia: a former Greek Orthodox Christian patriarchal basilica built in 536AD, later an Ottoman imperial mosque and now a museum<\/p><\/div>\n

Roasted corn, just like home!<\/p><\/div>\n

We were on our way to Africa via Istanbul with Turkish Airlines (why? you ask?\u00a0 cheapest tickets!) and got delayed.\u00a0 We missed our flight due to Turkish Air, so they put us up in Istanbul for 24 hours.\u00a0 What a delightful delay!\u00a0 A good night’s sleep instead of back to back long flights and a chance to see a bit of Istanbul.\u00a0 We didn’t have time to actually go inside the Blue Mosque or the Hagia Sofia museum, but it was a lovely day for sightseeing outside.<\/p>\n

We arrived to Yaounde just before midnight Saturday, with all our luggage.\u00a0 We will take at least a couple of days for shopping, and will head to Gamboula probably by Thursday.\u00a0 Thank you for your prayers for our homegoing journey thus far.\u00a0 The long drive over some rough roads lies ahead of us.\u00a0 Thank you for praying for journey mercies for the upcoming trip.<\/p>\n
