Boiled Alive40 viewsThe silkworm cocoons have to be dissolved in boiling water before the silk threads can be extracted. The silkworms are thus boiled alive inside their cocoons - 6,600 silkworms have to die for every kilogram of silk produced. The PETA folks are not happy about it.

Aegean Free Zone Overview36 viewsThe Aegean Free Zone, near Izmir, is one of several free trade zones in Turkey. Free zones are sequestered areas given special regulatory treatment with the aid of promoting exports and attracting foreign investment. The Aegean Free Zone is home to Space Camp Turkey as well as a car museum and a wind turbine blade factory, all of which we visited on this date.

Treasury Fountain11 viewsOne of the most ornate and imposing fountains in the palace.

1940 Cadillac LaSalle 4-door Sedan9 viewsThe LaSalle was kind of a junior Cadillac, built and marketed by Cadillac but with a different brand name, and priced lower than a Cadillac. LaSalles were built from 1927 to 1940, so the car in the picture is one of the last LaSalles ever built.

Sarcophagus9 viewsDon't know whose.

Nazar Boncugu9 viewsJim Windlinger demonstrates one possible use of the Turkish anti-evil-eye amulet, the Nazar Boncugu. Note on pronunciation: the "c" in "boncugu" is pronounced like an English "j", and the g is silent, so pronounce it as if it were spelled "nazar bonju".

Gate of the Sultan9 viewsApproaching the Saltanat Kapısı (Sultan's Gate) at Dolmabahçe Palace.

St. Paul Prison8 viewsSt. Paul was supposedly jailed here during one of his visits to Ephesus.

Wobbly Column8 viewsBut it's still standing.

Sarcophagus8 viewsDon't know whose.

Cat People8 viewsChuck and Elouise save the group from the feline onslaught by generously and selflessly sacrificing their own sustenance.

En route7 viewsSandra and Jerry Floyd, waiting in the airport for our flight to Turkey on March 22, 2006.
