One of my most poignant memories is just like you described - we were in the gardens of the Blue Mosque and all of a sudden the prayer halls came on, and we could also hear the calls from the Hagia Sophia across the way too. It was just such a magical moment, that I literally had tears in the corners of the my eyes (and even my boyfriend too!)Anna | slightly astrayhttp://www.slightlyastray.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002916643127981684.post-3726233478901819572015-01-09T03:39:14.132-08:002015-01-09T03:39:14.132-08:00Good gracious!

From what I understand it's a very tough place to be, when neither group fully accepts you.Natalyehttp://www.deutsch-bitte.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002916643127981684.post-6679130639546137292015-01-06T20:30:50.875-08:002015-01-06T20:30:50.875-08:00Yay!
