I remember learning about the Hagia Sophia in Art History.

And I use the term “learning” lightly.

Because I really don’t remember anything I was taught about it.

But I do remember looking at a photo of Istanbul’s skyline with the domes of its roof jutting out.

And I remember thinking how incredible it would be to see a city with such  a remarkable history.

Such ornate beauty.

It feels nice to scratch something off my bucket list.
