Turkey day 6: a Rainy day

Today was our longest bus ride (about seven hours), so if it was going to rain, at least it was today. Our first stop was this ancient gymnasium and our second stop was a GIANT temple to Athena. It was so big! I am always amazed by the engineering that had to happen in order to build them!

Our hotel was in Bursa and before we went home, we stopped at their grand mosque. This mosque has 20 domes for the 20 battles won by some great military leader. This mosque was a lot simpler which really caught our attention and we really enjoyed it! After the mosque we went to their bazaar and had fun wandering around. Each city has its own flavor and while Bursa is the fourth (don't quote me on that) biggest city in Turkey, it has less of a touristy feel and more of a city filled with locals feel. It was a good place!
