Turkey
We didn't go ashore for very long during our first stop in Turkey: Kusadasi. We sailed early from there for Istanbul. The next day, I forgot the battery for my Digital Rebel when we went into Istanbul, so Sarema's camera has all the pictures of St. Sophia's and the Blue Mosque. Wikipedia has some good pictures if you follow the links.
Instead, I've substituted this picture of Hunter giggling in the cabin. We tried to spend as little time in the cabin as possible, but with three or so naps to take each day, we had to be in there a little. Hunter's favorite activities in the cabin were opening and shutting things: the toilet lid, the dresser drawers, the door the to bathroom. He was very fascinated by opening and shutting things for some reason.
Istanbul was a beautiful ancient city. The Blue Mosque was large, ornate, and a little blue (on the inside). The guide told us that when St. Sophia was built in the 6th century, it was the tallest domed building in the world.
