2007  How freaking cool is this??? I'm really here, I'm really
in some crazy and foreign and exotic place that you only ever
read or hear about - you never actually go these places, you
just experience them through Disney (Alladin anyone???). Talk
about a pinch me moment.  All night I'm just saying over and
over again, I can't believe it, I can't believe I'm finally
actually here.  I wander with the monumental Aya Sofya 
(multiple spellings people but you get the idea), and Blue
Mosque in sight.  How cool is that???  Now I wish I was staying
longer.... or do I?  The bus arrived after a lengthy stop over
on the Turkey side of the two customs checkpoints: one of our
fellow passengers almost wasn't allowed in and I'm still not
sure why.  hmmmm....  but fortunately I got my visa and through
without a hitch, and we arrived 15
