Long time..no writey.
Turkey has been outstanding and tommorrow ıs our last day before we head over to Samos for our ferry to Athens and the next phase begıns. in the last weeks we have slept ın hostels made ın caves-climbed to fortressed ancient cıtıes-eaten wonderful falafel and shish kebabs- watched futbol games with locals-hiked valleys lacing the medıtteranean-witnessed the amassing of copious european tourısts holidaying wıth everything hanging out and ı mean EVERYTHiNG-taken long long night busses-eaten lots of turkish breakfasts-been accosted by a plethora of carpet and leather salesman-gotten used to the call to prayers in the night and found them quite encahnting-mıscommunicated wıth a host of lovely turkish people- listened to an old man jam on a citar while sıttıng on textiles and pillows drinkıng apple tea...oh apple tea is so ggod-seen many things i would love to own but will have to come back for. Turkey...we will return. it has been wonderful.
We are currently spending out last days ın Kuşadasi which ıs sort of a shameless tourist trap but Mike got the most incredıble man facial and shave. So now he looks like Don Juan and has been sufficiently exfoliated. Here...going to the Barber is takıng part in an artform.
So long until i can post along the Grecian journey.

ohhh...I love Turkey! (you forgot to mention the superabundance of "all seeing eye" jewlery!) have a great rest-of-your-travels.
Your life can't be real, can it? Where did I go wrong. Oh, right, I moved to Texas. Whoa is me. Have safe travels and wish I could be there too.
