Sardis and Bursa

Rainy day today!

Sardis! 

Thyatria. This place was funny because it resembled a park to me... surrounded by walls in the middle of a city. 

 Bursa Grand Mosque
It has 20 domes and two minarets, built during the Ottoman empire.  This one looks a lot different than the last few I've seen in terms of painting inside and style, but still just as beautiful.

We wanted to be respectful to those who came to worship, so we tried not to look like we were posing for a picture.

Bazaar! I love these things. This one was more like an open market selling the most wondrous things like fruits, nuts, and Turkish delight galore!

The end of this lovely day was spent at the beach hotel :)
