Black Sea Hike

Instead of doing homework today like I should have I decided to tag along with a small group on a hike from campus down to the Black Sea and enjoy the first short-sleeve worthy day of beautiful weather here in Istanbul. We kind of got lost but found our way to the old fort somehow anyways. It was amazing. I saw some cool butterflies and wild flowers that I havn't seen before in the states. We ran into a random cow along the path and a sheep farm down in the town near the fort. Climbed around the fort a bit and then dipped our toes in the Black Sea (which was quite difficult because there were no beaches - Shaina almost fell in).
