Random cool images from Istanbul

Daytime, sunshine (a rare moment on this trip) photo of Blue Mosque from my hotel balcony

The Mexican restaurant where I had dinner!

The Sultan's cemetary

The entrance to the Apricot Hotel - I highly, highly recommend this B&B!  Breakfast was great, there are jacuzzi tubs and roman showers, and the owners are the nicest, most helpful people! Book room 2 or 5 for the view of the Blue Mosque.

The street the hotel is on at night.

At the exit to the Handicrafts Cultural Center...the Hagia Sophia, the center and restored Victorian architecture all collide here.

Cats perched in the tree

Want to buy a pretzel?

View out the hotel room window
