Hagia Sophia at night. This was built as a church in the Byzantine period and then turned into a mosque later on. Now the building is a beautiful museum.

Inside the Hagia Sophia. You can see Christian paintings from long ago, and Islamic art from more recent times.
This is a shop owner with his cat. He is blowing the cats nose in this picture! The cat's name is Pasha.
The markets in Istanbul are so pretty.
This game is called backgammon. I played this game when I was little with my German grandma, but I forgot how to play. I relearned how to play here because this game is very popular in the Middle East.
Turkish apple tea. I could drink this all day.
