During our trip to Pamukkale, Ceylan, Cat, and I also took a side trip to Aphrodisias, which is one of the best-preserved ancient sites in Turkey. I will mostly let the photos speak for themselves. Quite a few of these photos were taken by Cat, who always does a great job documenting they journey!
For reasons still unexplained, the five-minute walk between the parking lot and the site is serviced by a tram pulled by a tractor.
The statue didn't have a head, so I provided one.
Frolicking.
Remarkably well-preserved stadium.
We tried to recreate a gladiator scene, with varying success. Ceylan is delivering the death blow with her sword (stick she found on the ground). Blood is pouring from my chest wound (pink scarf I was wearing).
There is a very similar photo of me doing the same thing in front of the pyramids. I am beginning to notice a trend.
Cat was inspired to shoot through an ancient clay water pipe. It made a nice frame.
Ancient graffiti. I guess someone was bored at the theater.
I am fairly confident that this is a representation of a Roman emperor subduing Persia, personified as a half-naked chick. Well-played, emperor, well-played.
