Nice, colourful photo. I’m not much of a cook either, but it’s something very appealing about these Turkish spice markets.

Thanks Brian, yes it was my new camera. I tell you there were many moments on the sandy roads where I was dreaming of a mountain bike with fatter tyres.

I knew of Ataturk before coming to Turkey, but coming here you really see what an important figure he was to the nation. His image is everywhere!

Great info.. I am retiring soon from Alaska after 40+ years and looking at Jamaica, Dominican Repuplic or Mexico. Somewhere I can cruise my 50′ ship from Alaska for all seasons instead of a few months a year. We have been a lot of places but never looked into actual cost of living outside of high dollar vacationing in the major cities (not where I want to retire). I need a marina, beach and oceanside home or land, possible condo. Any ideas??

I have two bicycles, Schwinn cross trainer and a Fuji racing. To bad you did not have the Schwinn! Did you take those pictures with your new camera? They are very good!
