a whole lotta pictures goin on

Hi Everyone! I have some backpeddling to do to show you Pamukkale, Hierapolis, Aphrodesias, Antalya... SO MANY PICTURES! So get ready. If you haven't read most of the posts, a lot of these pictures won't make much sense. So, I'd suggest you read stuff before you look at the pretty pictures that help animate the words.

Here is me and David swimming in the ice cold pool in Pamukkale. Well, not swimming so much as aclimating. :)



Here's me with the white cliffs of Pamukkale in the background. They used have pools that were full of blue blue water, and these hills used to be desperately white, but now that the waters have been drained, it's gotten a bit dirty looking.



This is an old stone house built out onto the hillside on Pamukkale overlooking the valley.



Here's an old road in Hierapolis.



Me up against the white cliffs in Pamukkale, coming down from Hierapolis. If you have forgotten/didn't read the post (shame on you if you didn't), you have to take your shoes off to walk down the calcium hills. Ouch, to say the least.



APHRODESIAS! I absolutely loved this place. In this picture, the stage of the amphitheater is just to the right of this photo, and this is looking out into the baths.



More of Aphrodesias. This is the council house.



ME! In the bath area of Aphrodesias.



Here's Justin! We're back up on Hierapolis for the Boyner concert! He's standing on the arch in a Byzantine wall.



The amphitheater at Hierapolis! I like this shot because it shows a little of what it looked like what it was used back in the good ol days. I have other good shots of Boyner himself, but you'll have to see those when I get back. :)



Here's Justin and David with our wonderful hosts at Pamukkale.



Now I LOVE this picture because this is us after getting those "free" pizzas from the guy at the harbour in Antalya. Note the shit-eating grins on our faces. This is before we were charged for the cold wee pizzas.



Just a view from the Antalya harbor into the Med.



And last but not least, here's the human face carved into the pillar at Karain caves where we had to take a taxi and walk a very steep hillside to get to! Pretty eerie, huh?
