More from the hot air balloon ride over Cappadocia in Turkey.

I noticed these trucks in a parking lot in Selcuk after walking through the weekly Saturday farmer's market. I'm pretty sure they are used to haul in produce or other goods to the market.

I'm sitting in the Istanbul airport waiting for my flight home this morning. Its already been a long day getting up at 3:30AM to get to the airport. Found a quick WIFI spot so I'll put up a few more photos while I can then add some more when I get back.

I barely made the connecting flight from Paris to Istanbul as the NYC flight was late, but I ran ...

I was going to take the A train to JFK but as usual I was packing up until the last minute. Taking a taxi now just went over the tri borough. Hopefully the traffic isn't crazy. The taxi driver has a thick middle eastern accent and thick odor. I'm pretty sure he's not from Turkey, trying to ...
