MERHABA (HELLO)...

Azade Hotel (Istanbul) - in Old Town, two blocks from the Blue Mosque

this post is for Mom... check out the rating! and, it's a Best Western (but, clean & modern)!

looking toward the Blue Mosque!

a fountain in a beautiful park separates the Sophia Hagia Mosque & Blue Mosque

inside the Istanbul Archaeological Museum

(near Old Town)

JPE was interested in the Syrian & Hittities

(dating back to the 13th Century).

we had a cup of tea in the courtyard...
