Suleymaniye the Magnificent

We didn't get to go into "Soolyman's" (that's how we decided to pronounce it) mosque, but we did read about the history while in the inner courtyard. He had a very ambitious wife Roxelana. She was apparently the real ruler and talked Soolyman into doing everything she wanted. As we were walking away I was thinking about how nice it must be to have a great adjective like Magnificent as part of your name. In honor of Roxlana, I dubbed Brandie, Brandie the Ambitious! She decided I would be Crystal of Many Smiles for the day. :-)
