Istanbul: I am so excited!

On Friday I will leave for Turkey to visit friends.
We will be staying in Istanbul and then travel to Ephesus and back. Istanbul is the only city in the world that is situated in two continents; Europe and Asia! Over the centuries it has served as the capital of three empires!
  • Roman 330-395 AD
  • Byzantine 395-1453 AD
  • Ottoman 1453-1923
It will be surreal to walk on Roman streets and stand inside The Aya Sofia dedicated in 537AD by Emperor Justinian. I can not wait, I am so excited! I will keep you posted.
