Dear Serif Yenen, friend: Your text is exquisite; congratulations. I am very grateful for the wonderful video and the music that sounds in this acoustic marvel. Imagine if pagan Romans wanted to pray in the Pantheon, in Rome, which is now a Catholic church. The Hagia Sophia is wonderful like this: part church, part mosque, all museum.

Hagia Sophia is open 24 hours for worship, but museum is closed because of restorations. It is amazing and inspiring, even moving though.

My wife I were participants of your Grand Circle Turkey Tour in 2013. We still remember the tour as one of the best and you as one of the most excellent tour directors. This presentation surely brought back lots of wonderful memories of our time in your country. Now that we are currently unable to travel because of the Covid-19 virus we wanted to be sure that you knew how much we appreciated the ability to relive our trip through your virtual tour. We look forward to future presentations. Perhaps, someday, we can return to Turkey. Stay healthy.

Şerif, you present these wonderful buildings with such empathy and humanity- thank you. I do hope that the coexistence of religions that you so rightly praise still maintains today.
