That wasn't part of the plan...


Well we lost game 1 by three points. Everybody played poorly. Game 2 is at their place on Wednesday.

Saturday was an off-day, and it was gorgeous out. I took advantage and went to Hagia Sophia and the Grand Bazaar again. Got some scarfs and some really cool black and white drawings of Istanbul. Great mementos.

This is a photo of Hagia Sophia.

Also, Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque (picture below with me and Alisa) are right across the plaza from each other. They literally face each other. It's pretty cool. Hagia Sophia used to be a church during Byzantine times, then it was converted to a mosque by the Ottomans. The Blue Mosque was built by Sultan Ahmed as a response to Hagia Sophia.
