The ROM rotunda was spectacular. Loved the intricacy of the tiles and how the light penetrated three windows instead of one.
A replica of the fishing Dubai.
Something I noticed is that almost all 'heritage' designated sites used electric hurricane lamps (huriccane lamps modified to use electrical energy savers). This include my hotel (see Al-Hijaz Motel photos).

This song was somehow a combination of two modern songs, and then the familiar melody vanished & became a delightful composition.
Some of the nicest pottery on display in the museum was from the Classic Age. All of it was found relatively nearby. There is a philosophy in Turkey that when treasures are found they should be displayed in the nearest museum. It should be noted that this museum is one of Turkey's largest. A shame we spent little more than an hour here.
