You want pictures you got pictures

Many of the blog followers have said they need more pictures and I (Jerry) know it is a thirst for the true art being created here by my raw talent. 

But I am going to but them on anyway. We start with our trip to Ankara and the wonderful museum.  I didn’t find out that I was not supposed to use a flash until the end, but as you can see I got payback for breaking the rule. These pics don’t begin to do justice to the ancient story being told from 3000 B.C.    Hopefully you know you can click on each picture and enlarge it.

Here we began our climb up to the old city of the Citadel.  The steps were well worth the effort.

Just a few more shots around our new home of Eskisehir.  Statues and parks all over the city along with beautiful mosques.

  2. Wow - the pictures are super! So nice to see the teachers with whom you're working. Yes, they ARE young and it looks as tho' everyone is really enjoying their job. You two - even the token male - seem to fit right in - how cool!
    You all are really giving me the 'travel itch'!
