Ridiculous amounts of photos

To save everyone the pain of wading through the several-hundred photos from my last trip (and so my grandmother can see them, Hi Grandma!), I'm featuring a few highlights here:



Flags outside Bogazici's gate in Etiler; The 3 big parties (AKP, CHP, MHP) are all represented.



Danaijo and I in the Yerebatan Sarnici, or Basilica Cisterns



Sultan's Loge at the Aya Sofya; the royal family would use this so as not to be disturbed by the great unwashed masses during prayertime.



Danaijo and I in the balcony of the Aya Sofya.



Topkapi Palace and the view behind it. Gorgeous even on a gray rainy day.



Me and a fountain outside the Sultan's bedroom. The bedroom itself was in its own building, in the middle of the family section.



D wasn't trying to get my eyes in this one, but it turned out kind of cool. That's the Yeni Cami (New Mosque) behind me.



Troy. Those different wall sections are all from different Trojan cities. This is why I'm not an archaeologist.

As I get more uploaded to Flickr, I'll get more up here as well.
