In the Blue Mosque

The other day I headed down to Sultanahmet Blue Mosque. I wanted to see what was inside after prayer time. Its pretty cool inside but not as exciting as I was imagining! When I went they made me take off my shoes, Put on a shawl, and a skirt to cover my knees! It was kind of exciting- the place was really quiet inside and everyone was looking around and taking pictures and the Muslims were clumped together... kind of looked like they were praying. It was cool to see.  Here are a few pictures of it.
The entrance!
