Culture club

On our second day in Istanbul, Trevor and I decided to soak up a little of the ancient city's history and culture (in addition to its beer, trinkets and snacks).We started the day by soaking up a little of its rain while waiting for our walking tour guide. (I like how Trevor is gamely attempting to act like he's having fun.) Miraculously, the rain let up while we were touring the Hagia Sophia, just when our guide was showing us the windows designed to point towards Jerusalem.After spending a day hitting the high points and listening to a running commentary that was equal parts crash course in Turkish history and mispronounced English gibberish, we felt we had fulfilled our mission.

Next up: more drinks, shopping and pomegranates.
