Istanbul has loads of history. It is a city that feels very European, but a few blocks down can be bustling and overwhelming, which gives the feeling of Asia. The city is packed with history and sites. We visited the Aya Sofya on the first day, which is a church dating to 532 ad. The beauty and size of this church is overwhelming. It was converted into a mosque when the Ottomans took over in 1453 then turned into a museum in 1935. Both pictures are of the church.

Just checking in dudes. We've had crappy weather in Seattle, but it's supposed to be in the 80's by the weekend.
Keep on trucking.
