No Youtube in Turkey...What the $#%!!

Okay....its 4 am here and we are wide awake, the usual first days sleeping pattern with the 10 hour time change from home. Oh well, the first call to prayer of the day is at 5:30 am so maybe we will go for a walk around that time.

So our new thing for the blog this time around was going to be Youtube videos of us being goofy. WELL the country of Turkey has banned all access to youtube!!!! Apparently the Turks are quite fond of this guy and someone made an unflattering video about him. We are going on a 4 hour walking tour of the old town this morning and I am sure we will find out more about him.

We can post no youtube videos until we get to Hungary in a week and worse than that have no access to the videos on PerezHilton (Tracy, can you feel my pain!!)

We had planned to post a video of the hotel room that Jess did yesterday and let me tell you it was HILARIOUS!!! Take my word, you don't know what your missing. So until Hungary it's going to have to be the old school blog with still photos. We will post something later today once we have explored as little and, more importantly, have had a few glasses of wine (we think we are REALLY witty when we are drunk). Evidence "A" : This post was written cold stone sober (it is 4:30 am after all) mmmmm....I wonder if there will be champagne at breakfast???

So until then here are a few photos taken from the room top of our hotel.

The hotel is a converted prison. Very small, only 65 rooms.
Jess on rooftop with something very important and famous behind. I am sure our tour will give us all the details.

Oh ya, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!!!
