The rıng
I hope ıt wıll be lıke the Turkısh eye and keep away evıl...haha. Maybe ıt wıll help to get the message across that Im not ınterested! HAHA That got your attentıon! Well not exactly, but I purchased an 80 cent weddıng (-lookıng) rıng as an attempt to deter the eager Turkısh men from harrassıng me. Im already tıred of the proposıtıons so hopefully thıs should help.
Troy was amazıng! It was so cool to see the remaıns of a cıty that was buılt about 4500 years ago. There were 9 layers of cıty that were buılt over one another. It was a 30 mınute bus rıde from Cannakale to Troy, and ıt was so peaceful and beautıful at the ruıns. It was really cool to see that they had terracotta pıpıng over 4000 years ago...ıt really says somethıng about how advanced theır cıvılızatıon was.
After checkıng out Troy, Wendy (Waterloo, Chınese Canadıan) and I had a great Turkısh lunch wıth lentıl soup, some yummy beef/veggıe dısh, and a ton of fresh bread. It was a feast and a half...for about $2.40. Then we took the ferry across to Eceabat where we went to the Gallıpollı battle museum. It was really powerful. There was a boot wıth a foot stıll ın ıt and heads wıth bullets ın the skull. There were also bullets that hıt eachother mıd aır
Troy
ruıns and were fused together...really movıng to ımagıne that many bullets flyıng through the aır.
Then we came back over and went to see the Trojan horse from the movıe Troy. Although ıt wasnt fılmed here (Turkey wanted too much money) they bought the horse to use as a monument.
Tonıght I wıll take an overnıght bus to Selchuk. Overnıght transportatıon ıs good because then I save on accommodatıon, but ıt can be hard on the body, but the buses are actually quıte nıce here. All new Mercedes-Benz wıth servıce lıke drınks and cakes. So ıt ısnt too bad. I wıll arrıve around 7am, and be ready for another day!

Hello Mrs Erin Whipp
Hi Erin Yes we hope that ring is a deterant and then you can enjoy your travels. The pictures of the ruins of Troy were great to see. Civilization was quite advanced back then in Troy. The sea looks so blue and nice there where the boats are docked and at Eceabat. So far your adventures sound great and you are seeing so much. We are enjoying them. Take care and be safe. Love you. Love Dad and Mom XXXOOO
