One of the highlights of the trip and what I was really looking forward to, was touring the Hagia Sophia. This is still the first afternoon and we were just walking around the center of the old town. The Hagia Sophia (I think) is the greatest Christian church ever built. When you look at the date and how fast it was built and how revolutionary it was and how grand it still is after so many years, I think you would agree. It is a museum now, but the remnants of ancient times remains. We were still a bit taken aback by all of the carpet salesmen approaching us.
