In Turkey

Hi everyone. Just thought I would post a quick update. I arrived in Izmir Turkey yesterday. Michelle tried to email some pictures that I sent her but unfortunately some people didn't receive them. See them in the slideshow above. The hotel room is really nice but of course I trashed it already. There's a window between the shower and bedroom. It has mini blinds in the window in case you want to take a shower or go to the bathroom without people watching you. Great view of the Agean Coast though. Thursday I'm going apartment hunting. The BX and Commissary are behind some serious barbed wire fencing. The building and entrance is completely unmarked. When you enter, theres an Entry Control Point with metal detectors and guards. You have to show two forms of ID to enter. The commissary is small but has a pretty good selection. Same for the BX. I like the corner police stations that you see in the picture. At least it helps to have those with the two accidents on the same block that occurred on my way back to the hotel. Parking is dicey here. I would hate to own the car parked on the sidewalk blocked by the two rows double-parked in the road.
