Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar, and Blue Mosque

Today we went to the Hagia Sophia, a beautiful mosque built around 500 A.D., The Grand Bazaar, a huge shopping market, and The Blue Mosque, an amazingly beautiful mosque from the 1600's.

We had at least one funny, scary, or interesting experience during our visit to each of them.

On our way to Hagia Sophia, we got lost and a man gave us directions that turned out to be wrong and we got even more lost and had to take a taxi.

At the Grand Bazaar we had somewhat of an argument with a rude salesman.

And at The Blue Mosque we lost my brother for about five minutes and we got very worried.

    Hi everyone. They say that Hagia Sofia is the most beautiful building in the world, only rivaled by the Taj Mahal. What do you think? We are in Bhopal after a harrowing travel day on the Indian rails, but we saw beautiful sculptures and tomorrow we go to one of the oldest Buddhist structures in the world! Love Auntie M
