This week we ditched school to hang out with Alan's family in Istanbul and Kapadokia. Tomorrow Alan will post some of the most lovely pictures from the trip, but today's edition of WTHW features some of the most ridiculous. We'll return to stories about children next week.
We are pretty much the only Americans everywhere we go in Turkey. With Alan's parents, sister and brother-in-law in town, we tripled our number! Also, there were these guys...
...I'm pretty sure their American.
And the Marlboro Man was in the crowd. He's American.
Check out that jacket. (Mom, you two would look good standing together.)
Also, this super famous American was in town! James Bond himself was visiting Istanbul to do some chase scenes through the markets. One of his stunt guys crashed right into the Grand Bazaar, totaling a 350 year old shop. But I'm pretty sure that's 007 in the Jeep.
Last night in Kapadokia we ran into this bad boy. It's a Dolmuş Bike! It fits like 16 people (8 on each side), who pedal to keep the bus moving. While you bike/bus around town a bar tender walks up and down the middle lane serving drinks. America NEEDS this contraption. (I'm looking at you Di, Melinda, Molika, Smelli, Sandra, and Jen. This could be good times. Nay. Great times.)
Lastly, meet the Swedish guy from our tour group. Please admire the florescent undies, and the patchwork socks. Unfortunately this photo doesn't do justice to his awesome butterfly shirt, or his red ladies sunglasses. He is a magnificent piece of work I tell you.
