What's that smell?
We’ve had no water for 30 hours. It stinks, literally. They said it would be back on tonight by 8. It’s now 9:51. Three months ago they said the museum would reopen a week later. It’s still closed and set to open in 2007. Uh-oh!
Road Trippin'
On our latest road trip we saw plenty of natural beauty and a lot of old stuff. Below are some pictures from that excursion. The first adventure was attempting to climb an extinct volcano in a van loaded down with people and bags. When we finally made it in we found two volcanic lakes. One is ice cold and the other very warm.
Are we there yet?
About 2000 years ago, on the highest peak around, a king decided to build an impressive tomb for himself. On two sides of the peak he had six massive statues built to represent different gods and, of course, himself. Earthquakes and snow have knocked the heads off the bodies, but you still get the idea. Beneath the large mound of loose rock behind the statues lies the king and whatever they buried with him. It's too dangerous for anyone to explore beneath the rocks. The most amazing part of seeing this was just getting there. We have a new found respect for our company van, and the off-roading was definitely worth it.




What's up, Dog?
One of the things our country is famous for is the Kangal sheep dog. Apparently they're pretty ferocious when guarding sheep, but this guy was just a big puppy. At 3 months they're bigger than most full grown dogs.
