Here is the first set of pictures from my big trip all over western Turkey!

View of Hierapolis, Turkey's biggest necropolis,
which means that the city is a big cemetery

Amy and Geoff in a tomb in Hierapolis

Emanuel on the left (with the Brazilian flag)
and Amy and Ellen on the right

Rush

Geoff pretending to be strong...

St. Paul's tomb in Hierapolis

Yet another tomb...

Amy, Me, and Ellen in front of the
entrance to the agora in Hierapolis

Old stalls in the agora

Pretty architecture

Pamukkale: Usually there would be water here,
but in order to preserve this natural wonder,
the water is being rotated around the area

More empty pools in Pamukkale

Ellen chilling in Pamukkale

Here's some water!

More pretty Pamukkale pools

Really hot thermal water

More pictures of Pamukkale

The yellow part is the area that's being worn down,
this is what is trying to be prevented,
hence the water circulation and the no swimming rule

Theater in the city of Aphrodisias

Geoff on the stage in the theater

Ellen, Me, Geoff, and Amy

Interesting faces

Entrance to a temple in Aphrodisias

Ellen, Amy, and Geoff in the stadium in Aphrodisias

Raquel outside of the Virgin Mary's house

Visitors to the Virgin Mary's house make wishes,
and then tie those wishes to this wall in the form of tissues

Middle Row: Nayara, Guto, Camila
Front Row: Gaby and Ellen

View from our hotel in Kuşadası.
That big body of water would be the Aegean Sea.
