I waited my whole adult life to see it. wow. istanbul is such a great city. the terrain and water of san francisco, the history beyond rome and athens. i was floored to stand in the hagia sofia, unlike anything i have ever seen. it is amazing to me, and always will be.
Sounds great. It’s on the very top of the list
