The teeny tiny amaza-crazy mosaics in the Hagia Sofia. OMG.
Favorite international spots to date:
Temple of the Reclining Buddha, Bangkok
Hagia Sofia, Istanbul
Wowzie!
Youtube is blocked in Turkey. Weird.
Leaving this afternoon for Amsterdam. Will organize photos on plane.

Got in last nite around 5pm. O’s driver picked us up at the airport to whisk us to a biz meeting, then the hotel, and then we all met for dinner on the Bosphorus. Beautiful views of the bridge in changing colored lights. Fab contemporary mezze. The octopus salad was outrageous. Whacky Euro “nite life”…
D is working today. I’m having a little resty (I know a jet lag headache now when I feel it!), workout, and maybe a shop later. Tomorrow: sights!
Turkish tea rocks my socks.
