Istanbul

My dad and I flew into Istanbul. We spent the day with my good friend, David Fulton, who was an excellent tour guide, taking us to all the major sights of Istanbul.

First stop- Hagia Sofia, which means church of divine wisdom. It is 1471 years old!

This mosque was just down the street from where we stayed the first night.

I don't think that people in Turkey have a problem with guns.
