Türkiye (November, 2019) – We navigated the Hagia Sophia with extreme enthusiasm, as it is part of my great silkroad bucket list. The combination of architectural styles and varying religious motifs from a number of bygone eras is the precise area of interest... the migration of spiritual beliefs and practices. The museum that we visited had a spiritual energy which felt open and respectful of its mercurial history. Alas the museum has been transformed again into an active religious site.
