Turkey, Antalya Prov, Coastal Mountains November 29, 2009 - A really wonderful day. I loved today. Lots of great sites, enthusiasm, photos, love and food. When I went out for a morning run, I went back to get my camera because the mountains across the bay from Antalya's old ciity were incredibly beautiful, spanning for twenty miles and beyond. I ran through the cobblestone streets of the old city. I got the family, we went out by car to the old city, stopping for bread and cheese, olives, etc. We bought nougat and then I had Turkish coffee at a tea shop with hookahs. We left and drove towards the east. I stoped before Sekir?? because there was a table mountain with high peaks behind it. But I spent too much time trying to get close to it and we lost a valuable hour (although the first half hour resulted in good photos). We drove as far as M___. On the way we got hot corn on the road side. Then we headed northeast towards Konya. The mountains were beautiful!! The scenes changed from forested peaks to bare earth-colored mountains. We got tea on the road side. Two women cooked a kind of large pancake, but I told the family there was no time to wait. We finally entered Konya province after 3p. Once on the flat plain I took some photos of a beautiful burnt tree. (IMG_1086) We raced to get to Karaman province but instead of heading off on the main road to the east, we took the road to Hidam, which ended up being very windy and time consuming. It is completely dark by 520p (and getting dark by 420 or so?). We stopped in Taskent (Tashkent) and had the most delicious local pizza ever wth tea, 15 Lira. We finally got to Karaman Province at about 7p. I took a lot of night photos, maybe two hours worth. (IMG_1124) (IMG_1137) Later, maybe an hour before stopping for the night, I stopped off the side of the road and made love to Novita. It was incredibly hot.
