heading further down the West coast I got to a place called Selcuk, which has some old Roman ruins near by in Efes(Ephesus). they were great, and I haven't been to Rome yet so it was nice to get a taste for Roman Architecture. then I cut across through the centre of the country to a place called Pamukkale which was fantastic! they have something in the ground that causes a white sulphur deposit to spill out over the land and it's formed some natural pools. nice to check out more small town Turkey too, the kids here are so cute!

I asked someone what it was about and he said it could be one of three things... a marriage, a circumcision, or just some rich guy showing off.

Wow, you are beautiful
Hello Russ, awesome photos.

I hope I run into you somewhere out there! iva (ivajan@yahoo.com)
