For me, I had a rather religious experience in Istanbul. Before arriving there I had taken a class the previous semester at the University of Texas called Architecture and Society. In this class we had explored two structures in Istanbul: the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. I remember seeing the slides in class of these two building's and thinking wow, how did they build something that incredible and intricate so long ago. I was left in utter amazement after visiting each of these structures with their incredibly intricate and vast interiors, paying such close attention to detail, as I walked away from each one speechless.
