+<h1>Armenian heritage trip</h1>
+
+<p>
+In September 2019 Nancy, Jim, and Blaise took a vacation to explore their shared Armenian heritage.
+The primary purpose of this trip was to explore the old family homesteads in what is now Turkey.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The exact trip of each traveler was a little bit different, as represented here.

+<h3>Blaise travels Madison to Istanbul</h3>
+
+<p>
+Blaise left Madison mid-afternoon Wisconsin time, traveling to Istanbul to meet Nancy and Jim.
+This involved a short flight Madison → Chicago, an ~11 hour flight Chicago → Istanbul, and a hour long bus ride to get downtown.
+The most remarkable experience was the Turkish Airlines flight, which involved an unprecedented level of hospitality.
+Every passenger was given two excellent meals, blanket, pillow, eye masks, slippers, headphones, and seemingly countless other little amenities.
+It's easy to see how Turkish Airlines got its reputation.

+<h3>Morning Walk</h3>
+
+<p>
+Nancy and Blaise started the morning with a walk along the Sea of Marmara, near the hotel.
+They saw divers with harpoons, fishermen, cats and dogs near the sea.
+After walking along the water for roughly 30 minutes, they turned around and returned to the hotel through the city.
+This included passing through the seafood restaurant area, several blocks worth of just seafood restaurants.

+<h3>Hagia Sophia</h3>
+
+<p>
+At 10:30 we went on a guided tour of Hagia Sophia.
+Our guide was from Bulgaria, with a mother born in Erzincan.
+There was a long line to enter into Hagia Sophia, but once inside it wasn't too crowded.
+The entire building is under constant restoration, exterior and interior.
