Tuesday Morning

Betsy with Hagia Sophia on the Seven Hills Restaurant Terrace


I took that nice picture while we were waiting for our supper last night night. It was gorgeous to watch the sun go down from this spot. After supper we went back to the hotel and went to bed early. Got up around 10:30 local time (3:30 AM EST) to enjoy breakfast at the hotel. The spread was extraordinary. For instance, there were a variety of fresh breads and pastries served with jams I've never tasted: imagine tahini and honey or rose jam on a sesame and date bread. I had fresh cherry juice and coffee along with some olives and cheeses. Fantastic.

At the moment we are getting organized to start the rest of our day. First stop: Hagia Sophia, of course.

Beautiful picture! In full screen it invites to step down into the forecourt of the building and to have a closer look at that(?)aqueduct.
