Turkey 3/24

Meltem gave us one of her ever-informative lectures on the way to the Blue Mosque area.  (There are 15 million people in Istanbul today.)  After visiting the Blue and Sophia mosques, we drove to the Topkapi Palace.  This palace is the main residence of the Ottoman Sultans.  We had dinner at our hotel that night.
