Will and I are in Turkey for the week, and the above is a shot Will took from Pamukkale. It’s bizarre, other-wordly white rock that cascades down the side of a small mountain. It looks like ice, but it’s 70 degrees out and warm water from hots springs runs right down the incline. Tourists can jump in and splash around barefoot, which is odd, because it’s a bunch of slick, slippery rocks next to a cliff. As in Burma and South Africa, I find it impossible to travel here without noting all the terribly dangerous things you’re allowed to do.

That’s very cool picture.
As for the terribly dangerous things in foreign countries bit I understand there a small market for traveling to places where can fire off a bazooka, or other military ordinance for fun.
likely travertine
I don’t know about anyone else, but now that you’re back, I’d love to hear what you think about Burma.
Ive been there!
