We stayed a the university hotel in Adiyaman where students who major in Tourism get practice. |
A typical Turkish breakfast. We've been eating cucumbers, tomatoes, and cheese every day. |
I haven't been doing Boot Camp lately, but I have been doing my squats. |
Our crew, plus Rafet the driver, taking a pit stop. |
The view from above on the way to Nemrut. |
Two ancient Roman columns |
I climbed the hilltop and got a bigger view of the columns below. |
The Roman Bridge |
I had my money belt on, otherwise I would have jumped in. Instead, I just waded across. |
The Turks came here to wash their cars and have picnics. |
Here I am on the Roman bridge |

Ancient writing, possibly Greek |
Hercules (naked guy) and the king |
This poor guy had engine trouble in the middle of nowhere. We would have helped him out, but he said he was waiting for a mechanic. Good luck. |
A cow herder sharing the road. |
My newest Facebook friends who I met on the way up to Nemrot. |
Sunrise and sunset are the most popular times to be at Nemrut. Guess which time we chose? |
This head broke off of a bigger statue long ago. |
More heads |
And still more heads at Nemrut |
Sun begins to set. Beautiful light for photographs. |
Human and animal heads |
Love the glowing light. |

Last moments of daylight before hiking back down the 6500 mountain top |
