Ankara is the capital of Turkey and its second largest city. We only spent one night and a half a day here. I got up in the morning and went for a run (sorry for the blurry pictures) and then we spent the rest of the morning at Anıtkabir, the mausoleum for their national hero, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. He was the founder and first president of the Turkish Republic. The site also had a nice museum on the lower level that talked about Atatürk’s life and Turkey’s struggle for independence following World War I.
