Photos from Istanbul - set 1

For our last trip from Jordan we met my parents in Turkey. Four days in Istanbul and then four days in southeastern Turkey near the coast.

Turkey was stunning - beautiful mountains, water and architecture so we took a lot of pictures which will slowly be added to this blog.

First stop - Istanbul
















Istanbul is on the water - with a harbor full of fish stands and bridges covered with guys fishing. One side of the city has an urban, modern skyline. The other side of the city which you can see here has a skyline of minarets and domed mosques.
Nice cat at a cemetary.
Me at the same cemetary. I also found a nice sunny spot but did not take a nap.
Here is Dan next to a medusa's head carving that is under the city in a cistern.
