Blue Mosque Again...
I went to Blue Mosque (Sultanahmet) this afternoon. This time I entered the mosque and sat through the evening prayer. The visitors could not enter the prayer area, but I sat in the visitor area and waited until the prayer began. It was peaceful and beautiful. I sat down and enjoyed simply being there.
The mosque looks gray on the outside, but it has lots of blue tiles on the inside. This is the reason it is called Blue Mosque according to the hotel manager. (^^)

So glad your presentation went well. Don’t be discouraged about the attendance. In the long run, the value of the conference is learning from others, gaining courage to present your ideas to colleagues, and adding a very nice piece to your resume. I’m glad you are relaxing a bit now. I think any quiet beautiful environment would be restful to your soul after all the hub-bub of getting to today. Love to you.
