The Wheels on the Bus

Go round and round and round and round... Well, you get the idea : )

We have covered a lot of distance in Turkey. We've seen a ton, but have also spent a lot of time driving. Here are three hilarious things about the companions on our vacation or holiday as they say in Britain : )

1) We are with all Brits - You'd have thought we brought London to Turkey if you saw us here! We left to go experience Turkish culture and instead we got more British. But in a way it's been really good. It's nice to hear about all their stories, gather advice and find out why they love the UK.

2) They are all from the country-side - Central London?!? With the traffic, noise, people, chaos... that's where you live?? There is a clear divide between those who live in central London and the Britain country-folk. We are hearing so many different British dialects... But also nodding and saying "uh huh" and then asking each other, "what did they say?"

3) They are all a little bit older than us... Okay, a lot a bit - We stick out like a sore thumb: Americans living in central London in their 20s. Apparently it's uncommon for young working professionals to take a one week trip in November to Turkey, who knew! Did we miss something when we booked this trip?

All joking aside, they are incredibly friendly, hilarious and we've actually had a lot of fun with our pleasantly unexpected companions : )

Now for a few photos:

To prove that there are cats everywhere in Turkey, here are two stray ones out of the 50 we saw sitting on the marble carvings at Ephesus. Ephesus was amazing but I will blog about it when I get back. Believe me when I say on my actual camera I do have better photos than just ones of cats : )

And this is Pamukkale, it's name means "Cotton Castles". These unbelievable white limestone terraces with turquoise water look like snow, but are actually pretty hot! Aaron and I got to wade around in them for a while which was quite an adventure : )

More to come!
