There's so much history in Turkey. Whenever we take a trip we can't decide what to see. Sometimes you're just driving on the highway and you can see a beautiful stone ampitheater from the road with houses built up around it and no signs anywhere- it's just a 2,000 year old site that no one took the time to chart. There's a lot of incredible things we come across on these journeys. Iwant to stop and take pictures every 3 minutes as we drive. Look at those wonderful mountains, the blue sky, the clouds. How can the highway be this uneven and patched? Look at those slumdog millionaire kids beating eachother up in the park...isn't that beautiful? Look at that brick wall built out in the middle of nowhere and clearly building has stopped and someone has spray painted the turkish word 'for sale' on it. Who would buy it? What was it going to be? Why would anyone build something out there? Look at that truck that's overloaded to double it's size...any small wind will topple that thing over. Look at those men driving, all three of them squished together on the front seat so that the sheep has room in the backseat.
Look at that shepherd talking on his cell phone. It goes on and on like this for me....The kids only notice when I say "Look! Cows!" because they are too busy reading or listening to the auido book. Sloane says things like "Cows? Where? Are they Turkish? I'm going to shoot them!" (I have no idea where this comes from...the bigs don't say anything like this).

I look at these pictures and think how the kids are living history through these trips and your ability to make the history on them come alive. Not gonna be your everyday American kids, that's for sure. Ooh, I just love it.
