Day Eighteen - Skiing for some

Slow progress today (still a respectable 90 miles though!) - this is due to the fact that we are in the mountains... just see the beauty of the landscape captured by Çakan Osman TANIDIK .
The more adventerous of our group got our their skis and took advantage of the natural resources. I, on the other hand, stayed true to form, and enjoyed the "apres-ski" of extremly strong coffee and sickly sweet cakes.

Hello, I like to thank you for using one of my pictures here on your web site. This picture was taken on the north-central artery of Turkey about 550 km east of Istanbul. The land is a rare site in Turkey as you can see the volcanic tuff created about 15 million years ago on the south side of the road and on the north side (which can’t be seen in the photo) are filled with rice patties near the Kizilirmak river. It was about five pm in the evening on January 1st of 2006. Good luck with your endeavor. I’m all for you.
