From the west unto the east

Here in the depths of the zillıonth internet cafe in Sarıyer (near Istanbul) I found someone who was able to help me upload photos.

-Termessos

-Beaching it

-Pastoral Vadi and the innumerable fruit trees

-our living quarters

-day off from the farm! We hitched back to Katabaş Beach

-wwwwwaaaaaaaat

-Cappadocia. The most touristic and spectacular place

-reallllly reallly east. In diyarbakir, the Kurdish capital. There is a fıve km wall surrounding the city! It is ridiculously old

Hasankeyf- and what river is that? Oh just the TIGRIS!!!...no big deal

but the story behind these caves of wonder is that the Turkish government is in the process of building some huge dams whıch will flood the 10 000 year old cave city just across the water.

-some older gentlemen who sang some wack songs when we came to sit with them for a spell

Yes. I went to see Batman. 

 ps.the fıve photos above are not mine (they are davids) I forgot to charge my camera, but I was lucky to travel east with people who were substantially more camera prepared.

-out of order Termessos

This section concludes my trip to Turkey. I certainly saw less than I had anticipated but I spent a lot of time hanging out with the people and learning about cultural norms and values. I would love to come back (when the weather is nıce) but now I will try my luck in Jordan.  

more, later
