On the plane....so excited to land in Istanbul!!!

Sunset over Istanbul
Hagia Sophia mosaic: Empress Zoe and Constantine IX, Jesus Christ in center. 11th Century
Tombs of Sultans
Egyptian Obelisk at the Hippodrome
                    Did I mention all of the stray cats?  Well-fed, well-groomed, and oh so adorable.....much better than           Romania's dog problem.
Me inside the Basilica Cistern
Medusa head turned on its side, at the base of a column in the Cistern
