Our ship just entered the Bosphorous Strait as we are on our way to Bulgaria. As we approached it, almost the entire ship population was out on the deck watching the distant lights glisten against the pitch black sky. As the lights got closer, they almost seemed to twinkle and there were hundreds of them just scattered across the hills of Turkey. In the distance, it looked like we were heading straight into land. Our professor came up onto the deck with us and explained that the blue glistening lights in the distance are actually a bridge that we will be going under. We stayed out on the deck in awe of the Tokapi Palace and the largest castle in Europe on our left and the Asiatic monuments of Turkey on our right. The bridge began changing colors and lighting up like a lazer light show at Disneyland. As we finally went under it, fireworks went off and the entire ship cheered with excitement. I was taking so many pictures and so many videos that my camera ended up dying. It turns out that having a dead camera is the best way to enjoy the moment. We went under another bridge and this time my friends and I (along with tons of random people) had a huge group hug and cheer. I cannot describe in words how amazingly beautiful this night has been. We’ll be in this strait for the next 20 miles. There is no way that we are going to be able to sleep tonight… I am so perfectly content with this moment right now...
