As always...
I enjoyed your blog. If you are still in Turkey, try to visit Pamukale, it is a nice and unique site. I too had a wonderful time in Turkey the people are very hospitable 'au contraire' to what the media is feeding us and the food is simply delicious . Thank you for sharing the history and pictures of this gem.

kumari
Your observation of the Kumari was very interesting. It is sad, after mensturation, they have to go back to their normal life and it is very difficult as legend has it that whoever gets married to a ex-kumari will die. So, they are often lonely.

and poor Hector...
Troy...how fascinating! I would have loved to have been there with you. Some horse, huh...you are too cute in your photo waiting for Brad...looks like better weather too! How tall were the walls in the photo above? How many stones high for an average person? Just trying to undertstand the mighty and impenetrable walls of Troy...

Hagia Sophia....how wonderful!!
I have always wanted to visit the palace for as long as I have been traveling. And Istanbul too. Sorry for the inclement weather but it sounds like you made and Shelley made up for it with a little shopping and dining...can't beat that dining.... The cats must have been really funny and I am glad to hear that the dogs are well cared for and not starving to death...Some cultured cat...you are too funny. I wish there were pics of Yerebatan Sarayi or the Sunken Palace, that must have been FASCINATING and it's so very old too!!! You are so blessed to have visited so many wondrous places. Keep on writing...I was getting nervous when I didn't see a post from you in a while..... Your friend, Jeff.

Nice photos
I myself have always wanted to go to Troy. Nice photos! I recently stumbled on a site that sells what look like great-quality audio guides for pretty much anywhere. http://www.allaudioguides.com/

I enjoyed your latest blog. Turkey is a country I'd love to see and it's so cool you've been to Troy. I remember reading all those myths as a kid. Impressive wooden horse - is that the actual one from the film?

your blog is helpful and the pictures are beautiful..but i wish u included the expenses in your blog, e.g. how much for the car rental; cost of your meals; the restaurants u dined in, etc..

Contact person of ciudad de acuzar
I was amazed by the architect's concept of ciudad de acuzar. I am very much interested to contact the person directly incharge of ciudad de acuzar concerning our pre war house which we are planning to be auctioned to interested bidders. The house is made from pure narra wood, including antique furnitures. we don't want to deal with realty agents, if possible directly connected with the office of ciudad de acuzar or its architects.

Awesome!!! you preserved one of the house belongs to my hometown, the MAXINO HOUSE from Unisan quezon

Envious me
Awesome pics and blog. BTW, I'm Filipino but honestly I haven't been to the Ilocos region so I envy you for getting the chance to travel there. I also heard the Batanes Islands up north also has awesome views. Have you been there too?

One man's dream...
This is a fascinating story...an you ask an interesting question about "ownership". I am all for this historian who seeks to preserve what remains of a long forgotten past.... How old are these buildings? Thanks for sharing this thought provoking article.... Jeff

Wow
Hey - great blog, it looks really beautiful. Just goes to show how much the Philippines has to offer - when I leave in May, I will have been travelling here for 7 months but still won't have made it to beautiful places such as this and many others!
