The Church of St. Savior in Chora (Turkish Kariye Müzesi, Kariye Camii, or Kariye Kilisesi — the Chora Museum, Mosque or Church) is considered to be one of the most beautiful examples of a Byzantine church.
The church is situated in Istanbul, in the Edirnekapı neighborhood, which lies in the western part of the municipality (belediye) of Fatih. In the 16th century, the church was converted into a mosque by the Ottoman rulers, and it became a secularised museum in 1948. The interior of the building is covered with fine mosaics and frescoes.
The majority of the fabric of the current building dates from 1077–1081, when Maria Dukaina, the mother-in-law of Alexius I Comnenus, rebuilt the Chora Church as an inscribed cross or quincunx: a popular architectural style of the time. Early in the 12th century, the church suffered a partial collapse, perhaps due to an earthquake. The church was rebuilt by Isaac Comnenus, Alexius's third son. However, it was only after the third phase of building, two centuries after, that the church as it stands today was completed.
The Jelly Bean Prayer
Red is for the blood He gave.
Green is for the grass He made.
Yellow is for the sun so bright.
Orange is for the edge of night.
Black is for the sins we made.
White is for the grace He gave.
Purple is for His hour of sorrow.
Pink is for our new tomorrow.
A jar full of jelly beans so colorful and sweet;
is a prayer, is a promise, is a loved one's treat.
Have a wonderful Easter!
Blessings,
Debra
This is a lucky chameleon! While enjoying a sumptuous pile of french toast Saturday morning I panicked. I saw a chameleon taking his last step as he reached from the banana tree to the electric fence. This would not have been the first chameleon fried in our backyard. (I buried the less fortunate color changer in the flower garden) Lucky for him the fence was off. It wasn't load shedding, it was divine intervention. That or the guard got annoyed at the fence popping as it discharged while trying to sleep in the guard shack and turned the fence off. I know the fence was shorting because Friday night every second a pop would come from the fence as it discharged into a fallen leaf from the banana tree. So while this Chameleon may think of me as a Captor he should know that I was his savior, almost.
Ps: Chameleons are awesome! They have crazy eyes and legs.
Pss: Stacey and I cut each others hair. I have a casual Mohawk and she has hair that is 3 inches shorter. She did a better job than me because she just wanted an inch off but I had trouble layering and cutting straight. Ooops, maybe I’ll do better next time if she lets me.
Psss: I can't resist taking a photo of a Chameleon!
ok, i'm into the "i don't know what the f@!k i'm doing" phase of the project now. just give me credit for trying is good enough.

Anh Bobby là tour guide. Trông thì "hầm hố" nhưng tính rất dễ thương và luôn tủm tỉm cười như tất cả các anh Philippines khác. Tour anh tính giá rẻ, nhưng đầy đủ và luôn chu đáo với một đoàn toàn người không biết bơi nhưng lại máu me cả lặn biển cả jumping.
Chú thích: cứ nhảy xuống đi, có anh cứu hộ sẵn ở dưới này rồi! :)
