Stu's visit to Egypt.
12/17/01
I'm in a place called Capadocia today and tomorrow. It is a region of Turkey between Aksaray and Nevishier. South of the capital of Ankara, but north and far inland of the coast.
I hope this message is less garbled. The keyboard I am using is western, not Turk.
Internet cafe's are everywhere. I am in a rural, small, tourist town and there are four internet cafes. Prices are cheap, about 1 USD per hour. So, if you have to contact me, use email.
This is a great place. I would compare it to the Badlands of South Dakota. It is cold this time of year and there are virtually no tourists. We are staying cheap. Our room tonight is actually carved out of a cliff side. It has heat and hot water and toilet, it's just in a cave.
We drove through a huge snowstorm to get to Ankara from Istanbul and our room last night in Ankara had no heat! We survived and made it south out of the mountains today where there is less snow but still cold temps.
We are heading to the coast and the city of Antalya on Thursday or Friday. the weather should be better there.
