Kariye Müzesi

We went to Kariye Müzesi, which we were able to walk to from our house, and it was quite a pleasant surprise. The original name of this building was Chora Church and it was built in the late 11th century. How amazing to have such a wonderful place within a 20 min walk from ones front door! Last year while in the middle of working two jobs and helping to form a labor union in one of those jobs, I was not sure that it was all worth it. However, now that we are here....well I would not trade it for anything.
