Big stone heads - Nemrut Dagi
After some tentative scheduling, I decided against heading straight for the west (package tourists galore!) and went for the east instead. Supposedly it is far less touristed over here, and although I find comfort in Turkey's western ways, I already feel nostalgic for Syria.
Our group, now whittled down to 4, overnight bussed to Kahta. This wasn't so bad, especially with a nap in the morning. I bargained hard for our tour to Mt. Nemrut (never did I think these words would come out of my mouth: *pointing at eyes* "See? Chinese! Yes! You give me good price.) which left at 2 later in the day.
There isn't much to say about Nemrut. They are, as previously stated, big stone heads, slightly gnome-ish in nature, on top of big ass mountain. We drove, we saw, we conquered. oh and we nearly froze waiting 2 hours at the top for the sunset, along with 60 other annoying tourists.

I'm laughing imagining you pointing at your eyes. San Francisco was really fun, but you were missed. I kept thinking I saw you around town!
