More photos from Istanbul

View from our apartment. We were just North of the Golden Horn about 50 meters from the Galata Tower.

The Galata Tower from our balcony. Built in 1348.

Jeff and I pushing strollers through the back passage of the Hagia Sophia. We received many strange looks here. Actually, the strollers worked out very well throughout the whole trip, but I always had the feeling that we had the only two in the whole city.

There were many people taking photos at this site in the Hagia Sophia. However, most of the lenses were aimed at the two cats basking in the light at the bottom right.


Ben, Evelyn, Jeff, and Renee blending in the Hagia.


The Basilica Sistern. Very cool. Eliot loved the fish in this underground cavern.


Paused for tea.


This is about 1/2 of 1% of The Grand Bazaar. Renee and I got a kick out of commenting that it reminded us of The Alladin in Las Vegas.
