At the Roman aqueduct (very fascinating how these work, especially 2 story ones. The low pressure sucking air in to make more pressure on the downward slope, pushing water up and venting air at the top, then back down the arch and across the valley), well anyway, after our educational lecturette, this gentleman was making fresh juice - squeezing 1/2 pomegranete and 1/2 orange, 2 lira or about 1.29usd. Delicious! Might try to find one of these juicers before I come home!! Pomegranete is a popular fruit in Turkey. We came across many orchards with these red fruits. The harvest is just beginning.

Our guide is very good at describing the history of the area, the activities of the Greeks, the Romans, the Hittites, Egyptians, Ottomans, Mongols, Turks. He is also able to retell the myths and tie them to actual places we have seen in Turkey. And he uses the Bible to describe the travels of Paul as he moved about this land. Words that we thought came from the Greeks or Romans, are variations on the original Turkish words, all of the myths have some relation to places in Turkey, in fact tulips started in Turkey and then the Dutch got them and there you go, everyone thinks they came from Holland.
