Ok, so I got my luggage like a day after my last update. I get a call from the security gate that it was dropped off in the middle of the night so me and a friend go to get it. It's a long, LONG trip but to keep things short, we end up getting picked up by Jandarma, which is the crack troops of Turkey. These guys offer us a lift, with the luggage, and they can't speak English and we can't speak Turkish but we can like use hand directions etc. The sgt. of the group was more interested in telling us how much American Women are hotter than Turkish Women and I wanted to disagree but I kept silent since all the guys in the back of the truck were smiling at me with thier rifles in hand. LoL. Um, we've done some siteseeing and actually stayed at a private villa just outside Soke for a couple nights so we could hit places like Priene, Heraklia, Ephesus etc. The villa was owned by a engineering prof at my school and he lent it to us for a couple days. I'll update you guys later on what work we've been doing etc and I must say Dr. Levent can DRINK and is awesome guy, he signs all the permits for digs in the country and is the head of the government archeology ministry or whatever and so we got to go to closed sites and get in other ones free. LoL. SO... I shall tell more later and I plan on trying to setup of a site so you can see all the videos I have made as well. L8r.
