Thankfully I haven't either but I did return last month from 4 weeks in Turkey which was awesome. Cappadocia and İstanbul each deserve their own blog because of the sheer volume of pictures which is taking a long time to whittle down. This entry details places visited between those 2 destinations, namely Patara, Pamukkale, Kuşadası, and Ephesus. 1 US$ ≈ 1.75 Turkish Lira (TL) Patara ... Read Full Entry

Hi Jon, long time no see. Loved the Turkish Blog. Jody and I were there back in the early 2000's. Most likely our favorite trip. We were able to walk the Travertine terraces at Pamukkale, which I heard were no longer accessible. Your comments confirm that rumor. Glad to see you're still a travelin' man. Best Philip

Hi Jon, Looks like a great trip! Did not realize Turkey had such fantastic ruins. They appear far more impressive than what I saw in Rome. There is something to be said for going someplace warm and not having to climb anything hard! Elaine J
