Istanbul


Hagia Sofia
The Blue Mosque
Medusa head in the underground cistern
Early Christian mosaics inside the Hagia Sofia
Fishing poles on the Galata bridge


Favorite memories:
Convincing Konan to go to a Turkish bath 
Our hotel overlooking the Bosphorus waterway
The Islamic call to prayer five times of day
Bargaining for souvenirs in The Grand Bazaar
Sampling Turkish delights 
Touring the many historic sites around the city
