We made it! Our late afternoon arrival ended a two day drive across a significantly varied landscape, east to west, bringing us across flat, essentially treeless, plains green with new wheat and barley crops growing in abundance through mountains dotted with pine forests and placid lakes to the shore of the Mediterranean here in Anatolia.
Along the way we visited two significant mosque museums associated with Sufy Islamic patriarchs; visited with a prominent Muslim cleric at his mosque with its unique and original 13th century wooden ceiling; slept overnight in a small, five hundred household, farming village with a large extended family hosting us; observed apples being sorted; lunched by a lovely mountain lake and visited a museum filled with 2nd and 3rd century Roman sculpture unearthed in Perge.
Unfortunately, the accompanying images have yet to be sorted out. Here's just one to whet your appetite ...
