Istanbul Day1

View from our room of the Blue Mosque

(taken during the first call we heard @ 5:30AM)

Hagia Sophia

(this was the first time we saw these low hanging light fixtures)

The Basilica Cistern

(I really liked this. It was such an interesting atmosphere)

Yeni Valide Mosque Complex

(the first mosque we went into)

(this is where we first saw the angled domes connecting the half domes to the base)

(the forecourt)

Wandering around down back roads in Istanbul

(... Eric... are we lost?)
