I have to say, when I first saw the picture of the inside of the Blue Mosque, I thought it was a Catholic church! So after you graduate you're going to become a Turk. Does this mean you'll wear a fez and drink Turkish coffee? ;) And when <i>are</i> you graduating? I thought this was your last semester. I can see why you like Izmir, though it doesn't appeal to my Midwestern sentiments. And you're right, those are hills, not mountains. If you want mountains, you might want to visit Flagstaff sometime. Lots of steep mountainsides dotted with lodgepole pines, and much cooler than the rest of Arizona. And only 1.5 hours from the Grand Canyon! It's one of the few places I've been that's west of the Mississippi, so perhaps there are better locations, but it's still pretty impressive. Great pictures!
