Turkey Recap (Nov 1 - 15)

CURRENTLY: I am in Barcelona, Spain home of Gaudi and all manner of great weather and culture. Heading out this morning with the hopes of getting to see a bit of the city on foot. I am without a guide of any kind so we´ll see how my first day of vibrational Barcelona pans out...good thing I can actually communicate here...ha ha

Not sure how many images I can get together from Turkey just due to the lengthy uploads while they are being compressed...more to come...lo prometo.



Aya Sofya - Istanbul (Sultanhamet)

It was a busy morning so we were hearded in amongst the masses of tourists trying to get a peak of the sites

Interior of Aya Sofya the scaffolding has been up for over 5 years I´m told...This structure began as a church. Centuries of ruling empire changes saw the Aya Sofya´s interior walls plastered and used as a mosque only to regain it´s original form and become a church....at some point centuries ago the fighting over this structure ended and it became a museum under the Sultan...he later erected the Blue Mosque to out do the beauty of the Aya Sofya
