Republic Day
Post by Aleah Keppler
Republic Day is the day when Turkey became independent. It was celebrated this week on October 29th. Our friends told us that on Republic Day there would be fireworks by the Bosphoros Bridge. We thought that it would be fun to go to Epope and watch the fireworks on the terrace. Epope is a restaurant close to the sea so it has a great view to watch the fireworks from.
When we got to Epope we walked up to the terrace. It was packed with so many people. We thought we would have to go to a different place but then my dad spotted a little spot behind the railing. My sister and I climbed over the railing and squeezed into the little space. My mom and my dad were tall enough so they could see over the people’s heads. So it all ended up working out and we saw the most amazing firework display ever! Eight firework shows were going at the same time off of the boats. Hopefully next year we will have as much fun on Republic Day as we did this year.
