Beautiful trip report, really g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s photos, I particularly liked the photos of the Blue Mosque, which is stunning, and Topkapi Palace. From the photos the Palace looks like a large complex, any idea on how many people lived there? And I have to ask, Randy no photos of jeweled daggers and swords, didn't you ever see the movie Topkapi?
BTW that last photo, I know you bought the carpet... you love haggling.

Tech advice--If you're using dial-up, use the arrows or "next", trust me, dial-up can't handle the slideshow.

Keep'em flying
