What a day, what a day!! The Blue Mosque is absolutely amazing! I couldn't stop taking pictures and being in awe. We also went to Top Kapi Palace in the morning. It was a palace that was built by Mehmed II in 1460. There was a lot of old clothes on display as well as jewelry and a huge, huge diamond. We saw the case that supposedly has Muhammad’s beard but we missed the case that contains John the Baptist’s head. I think I can say for certain that it wasn't his real head. For lunch we walked through a more residential area and the streets were paved with stones. I really like the feel of some of the areas here. At night we sailed along the Bosphorus and it was so pretty. Istanbul is such a beautiful place and I definitely will want to come back in later years. For dinner I had a fish. Not fish, but a fish. It was ok.
