I've been thinking again about our trip to Istanbul over spring break. The Hagia Sophia Museum (Ayasofya) is one of the most incredible places I've ever seen. I loved the beautiful mosaics, like this one of Mary, Jesus, and John the Baptist. (I took this picture.) If you go to the Hagia Sophia web site, there is a beautiful aerial view of the museum. The yellowish roof peeking through the trees on the left just might be our hotel - we were that close.
