Singapore


Singapore at night was beautiful, actaully most cities are more beautiful at night.....
The interesting desserts in Singapore...i avoided the ones with durian, like number 8...nothing like a fruit that makes up burp up a greasy onion taste for hours.

Whirling Dervishes



Turkey in Beige

Ancient cave dwellings in Cappadocia
The fairy chimneys of Cappadocia, captured as this was the only half an hour of sun in the 4 days I was there.
A valley in Cappadocia
The library at Ephesus...very historical i've been told and of great importance to Christians I assume as a huge cruise ship of them descended upon Ephesus to listen to sermons and sing bible hymns.

Mosques-inside and out

Carpets at a Mosque in Selcuk, Turkey
The Blue Mosque at night. One of my favourite parts of Turkey was the call to prayer, it was so beautiful, especially at night in Istanbul. The singing from different mosques would echo across the water.

Amy and Heather's Hungarian Adventure- The drinking began early in the afternoon in the town of Eger, the wine was only 50 cents a glass, we were quickly drunk, the goulash tasted great even if it was a little difficult to get the spoon from our bowls to our mouthes. the stumble back to our beds involed a 45 minute walk, a 30 minutes wait in the train station, 2 hours on the train, 2 subways and 15 more minutes by foot.....
