I’m a Native American with a lovely Turkish wife. We currently live in Izmir, Turkey, which is a picturesque seaside town located just 45 minutes away from the Greek islands. This blog will contain the stories and images of my travel adventures abroad, while living and teaching ESL in Turkey. I invite you to join me on my grand adventure as I explore the hospitable culture, rich history, amazing landscapes, and spectacular coastal scenery that Turkey has to offer. I am also an aspiring amateur photographer and freelance writer. To see samples of my photography, please visit my [url=https:... full info

Thanks Mike. It's great to hear from you also. I thought about you guys this year. I miss your great food! Izmir has an International Fair coming up at the end of Aug, so I'll have to get some pictures for you to see how it compares to the Ohio State Fair :-)
