My work life continues to be crazy. I waited a week and a half in Switzerland to get the go ahead to go to Istanbul and after a couple of days there I was already falling in love with the place. Then, on Friday I got a call asking me to head back to Switzerland as soon as I could, which turned out to be Sunday morning. This gave me part of the day Saturday to play tourist.
I decided I would try and fit in a visit to the Sultan Ahmed Mosque (Blue Mosque), Hagia Sofia and the Grand Bazaar. I only brought my point and shoot camera on this trip and I discovered as I entered the Hagia Sofia the battery was dead, so it is a good thing this is just the first visit of many.
I'm headed back to the US today, so I'll leave you with the rest of my photos from the outside of this amazing mosque built in the 1600s.
I've listened to a lot of Laura Veirs lately her songs have been a good fit for my mood, her "
Life is Good Blues", is a particular favorite. The song starts with the line: "Life is good when you dance all night." That line reminds me it's the little things that can really make life good.
So, tell me what is making your life good right now?

This place looks amazing!
Hmm, what's making life good? The usual...the husband, the dog, friends, fixing up my house. I think it's good that the usual is still making life good. :)
Safe travels!
Ama-ha-hazing pics!
Right this instant, the thought of a movie tonight with a friend makes me happy. :-)
Amazing photos Jamie. Don't forget to charge the battery next time!
These pictures are amazing! It's so crazy that things this beautiful were built so long ago! I love seeing things from history that are still so beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
The eucalyptus leaves are spinning on the branch looking like tiny ballerina's, and that's what's making my life good right this moment. Thanks for asking. Travel safely and happily my friend.
