Today is 8 DAYS until we leave for Turkey. This is a mosque I saw when I last visited Turkey. I am bringing a recorder (actually an app I downloaded to my iPhone!) and I hope I can post some of the sounds I hear. One I particularly remember in Turkey is the call to prayer.

Feel free to use any of the pictures in this blog. They were all taken by me unless sited as something else!

Countdown Begins

I am preparing right now for a 5 week long trip to the Mediterranean this summer. I have an opportunity to travel with my husband to archaeological sites in Turkey, Israel, Italy and Greece. I hope to see many other things and meet people in all of these places. Below you will see a map showing the itinerary for the trip. I hope you will join and put your comments and questions onto the blog. The map is interactive. Zoom in and out and slide it to see the parts you are interested in.
