The long awaited holiday photos

We started our trip in Istanbul, where we stayed with a old college friend "The Turk." We visited the Topkapi palace and went on a tour of the harem, which was beautifully decorated. We sampled some Turkish sweets. Visited the Basilica Cistern, Hagia Sophia
and the Blue Mosque.

The Hagia Sophia is one of the places Ben really wants to see...

There is a great little shop in the market here that makes fresh Turkish Delight... apparent I have only eaten the stale kind in the states. The fresh stuff is wonderful.
