This Thanksgiving, Amy & I continued a semi-tradition of the anti-Thanksgiving and headed out to Turkey to see the sights with some friends.  We first headed out to Ürgüp and Göreme and then later to Istanbul.  Some photos below and a few more photos can be seen here:

11/04/09 : When in Rome

For my birthday, Amy took me to Rome!  We stayed in Rome several days then headed to Sorrento (on the train via Naples) and also saw Capri on a day trip.  Rome was age, Capri was beauty, and Sorrento had the best pizza I’ve had in my (short) life.  Some photos below.
