Travel is one of life's best (and most pleasurable) teachers. In May 2000, I traveled to Turkey. Here are a few pictures from my fantastic journey!
Dr. S. with the Women of Goreme:

A lovely Roman theater in Pammukle:
Dr. S. with the Denzili Soccer Team at the Melvana
Museum in Konya, Turkey. (This photo was taken just days after Turkey's
GaltaSaray team beat England's Arsenal in a major cup game. All of
Turkey went wild with joy!)

St. Sophia . . .
The natural beauty of the Ilhara Valley (in Cappadocia). [Subtitled: A cave gags itself!]
A great view of the Blue Mosque from our hotel's terrace:
My graduate school friend and wonder-economist, Dr. Gene
Flaherty, playing in the ruins of Efes (a.k.a. Ephesus):
More natural beauty from Goreme:
