i woke up and went up to the terrace for breakfast. this is the view.
|
köfte: the greasiest meat i have ever eaten that hasn't been deep fried in something. and some good pickles.
i ate the lettuce which is kind of something you don't want to do because it might make you sick, but i wanted to eat it so i did. i didn't get sick either! i feel strong like ox. ox with tenacious cough. |
an inscription on the mosque. what it says, i could not tell you.
|
the courtyard of the incredible blue mosque.
|
through tasseled lace curtains and iron grillwork, the blue mosque. the köfte were a little too greasy, but the view was absolutely worth it.
|
we approach the mosque. i wish i knew what the inscriptions say. the calligraphy is beautiful but i'm sure their meanings are even more beautiful.
|
the interior of the blue mosque, a little blurry. the mosque was absolutely amazing, well, as you can see. to go in you have to take off your shoes, and the entire floor is carpeted. you carry your shoes through with you (if you're a tourist) in a plastic bag, it's a very convenient system. i would have loved to go in while prayers were going on, but they won't let tourists in then.
|
side gallery of the mosque, where they hold things like prayer meetings and lessons.
|
just incredible.
|

|
LAMPS. i love them. i bought one. i wish i could buy all of them.
|
corn. i want it. but every time i walk past i'm on my way to eat or just ate. but it smells delicious every time i walk through sultanahmet park or the hippodrome. which is often.
|
