So apparently we saw Ayasofya (Hagia Sofia) yesterday- in fact it's right by our hotel! When I learned about it in Art History last year, I never would have thought I would see it in person! We went in today, and also into the Sultan Ahmed mosque (we only walked the courtyard of it when we wandered yesterday). We went the the Grand Bazaar and underground in the Basilica cistern. "Rick Steve's Istanbul" actually had some great information for the tours. His restaurant advice? Not so good. My luggage arrived when we came back this afternoon, though!

The view of the Asian side of Istanbul from breakfast (at our hotel's sister hotel across the street)- how often can you eat breakfast in one continent while looking at another?
