I stumbled across this video of Hagia Sophia in Istanbul. This beautiful building that was built by the Eastern Roman empire had a great influence later on the style of the Imperial Ottoman mosques. If you have listened to the Amateur Traveler then you have already heard how much I loved my trip to Istanbul last year. One of the parts of the trip that I truly enjoyed was the visit to Hagia Sophia.

The Geekly Traveler spotted shower curtains for people with travel lust. They cost $35 from a company called Loft Party. So if you want a view of Venice, Rome, Vegas, Egypt , etc you can pick up one of these for much less than a plane ticket.
