Across the Globe and Back - Part 2

Part 2:

As you can see by the photo below, I am still

in Qatar and "Americana" has spread to all

corners of the globe. First of all, I apologize

for the quality of some of these photos, as I

took a lot of my photos from a moving car,

most on the way to my next airport.

Ahhh, nothing like a Turkish coffee to increase

your heart rate early in the morning.

And nothing like a local Turkish beer to

dust off those weary, traveler blues after

multiple flights.

One day on our way to one of the local

historic sights I started snapping some

photos of the local village. We stopped

in this local village to grab some

supplies for our lunch that day. I wasn't

sure how the locals would have felt about

me getting out of the car and shoving the

camera in their face, so I rolled down the

window and surripticiously snapped a few

of the local scene from the back seat. I

think the owner of this bike is a supporter

of a Turkish football club.

Here's a typical scene played out throughout

the countryside. I saw tons of men sitting

outside shops, smoking, joking and lazily

watching the day go by. Of note, very few

woman were out and about.

A local fruit stand. You may see a theme here,

something in particular was definitely in

season while I was there.


A local man hawking his goods...

During our journey we hit a toll booth and this

character happened to catch my eye.

Certainly an enterprising young man.


And here he is returning to his spot,

"one" item lighter.


And when I get to "Part 3", we will talk about

some of the ruins I got to see during my trip.

Here's a sample...
