I had a great summer. Three days after school got out I went to Turkey and then to Italy. In Turkey we went to Istanbul and looked at beautiful architecture in mosques (below is a picture of me looking at the architecture). Then I went to the coast in Turkey and swam in the ocean, took boat rides, and laid out in the sun. My family an I then went to Italy where we saw our old friends from when we used to live there. I visited many places I used to go to all the time like my old favorite pizza place. We stayed in Europe for about a month and when we got back the rest of my summer was soccer and hanging out with friends. Below are images of the architecture in Istanbul.
