From Istanbul to Florence via Pisa

We had a packed day today! Up early, we had breakfast at the hotel and headed out to see the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. After that, we stumbled upon the Grand Bazaar! A quick lunch and we were off to the airport!

Entrance to the Blue Mosque

It was breathtaking!

The Mosque can hold 10,000 people!

The mosaics are beautiful

At the Hagia Sophia, we were able to examine mosaics beginning to be uncovered, which was interesting. 

Brit made a friend with one of the many famous public cats!

I didn't expect to do much in Italy today after a busy morning and a terrible plane ride, but Emmy, Zach, and Marrok got us going to have dinner and walk around. I couldn't believe that The Duomo is right around the corner!

Now I'm dozing off listening to E & Z reading to Marrok, so good night!
