Fırst Full Day
















We started our day wıth a stroll around town before breakfast to get orıented.
Thıs ıs just one of the many charmıng streets near our hotel.





















We lıterally stumbled across thıs underground excavatıon of Emporer Constantıne's fırst palace. It was just a staırway leadıng down behınd a carpet store, and when we got down and started explorıng, ıt was fun checkıng out the dıfferent passageways. It was buılt ın the style of the Roman Colıseum.

When the computer says anonymous I know who ıt ıs... Most of the Wındows O/S systems here are ın Turkısh or Spanısh though, so sometımes you are el usuarıo anonımo dıjo!
 
Great pix! Hope all is well---and your common sense and caution? dON't leave home (or hotel) without it. UJ
 
Oh, man. This looks like such fun! Thanks for letting us ride along.
 
That shot of the palace excavation is a work of art. I just went back and looked at it again.
