Istanbul, Turkey

Tomas flew from Sacramento, California to Istanbul, Turkey, where he was able to spend a few days exploring many historic sights in the city.

His first stop was the Topkapi Palace, which was built in the 1400's and the primary residence for the Ottoman Sultans in the city.

Tomas paused in the entryway of the Topkapi palace 

He finally made it inside!

Next, Tomas visited the Sultan Ahmed Mosque, also known as the Blue Mosque, which was built around 1609.

Tomas admired the inside of the Blue Mosque, which is lined with more than 20,000 homemade ceramic tiles.

Sacramento, California, USA

Tomas began his journey with Heidi(our fourth grade teacher) and her family  Northern California.  He visited Sacramento, the capital of California where he had some adventures on the golf course!  He fell out of the golf cart and almost got lost in the green grass.  Luckily he was found and enjoyed the rest of his day.
