We landed at 1045 this morning, checked into our hotel & then went to the Topopka Palace -- the seat of empire for the Ottomans once they took Constantinople (1453). No time for a thorough description, but suffice it to say, it was magnificent -- the treasury was unbelievable. The harem was exquisite...the tulip gardens were so peaceful.
The food it terrific and the people are delightful.
Tomorrow we begin early at the Haggia Sophia & the Blue Mosque -- mosaics, mosaics, mosaics!!
Jeff's ongoing thoughts, musings, opinions, and adventures at your fingertips -- for the wonderful people that share their own lives with me to stay abreast of my travels. Far away in form, but with you in spirit...
