Istanbul: Straddling Asia and Europe

the Dardanelles

Inside the blue mosque

Fanciful ceilings

Entering the Blue Mosque

Or not entering...

the Blue Mosque has 6 turrets

Turkish bread that puffs

It looked like Toad's house from Nintendo

Across the isthmus

Birgit and I gird ourselves for Topkapi wonders

We succumbed to our inner asians

Jodie down Topkapi lane

Next to the Harem

Gold gates are intimidatingly ostentatious

As are gilded ceilings

Birgit and Jodie and the tree of hollowness

Approaching the inner palace

Sacred Standart indeed

Jodie and Birgit in Asia with Europe in the back

Circular stone sundial

Mosque over yonder.JPG

Through the fountain dew

Remnants of ancient roman spire

Some ancient pile of bricks

Birgit contemplates pide

Jodie savours pide

my apple tea tastes an awful lot like kool aid

Mosque over yonder

Beygolu in the distance

Hagia Sophia in all its pink glory
