After two and a half hours of walking in the cold we came in and had hot chocolate and doughnuts.  These are the first doughnuts the girls have had since we moved to Turkey.  They were very happy.

Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

These guys were really big!

The changing of the guard happened while we were visiting the tomb of the unknown soldier.  It lasted about ten minutes and was pretty impressive.
