The Filipus training program that my friends work with (and I joined as a student to learn language this year) spends the first month (October) in Antalya. We all live together, cook together, have classes together, and work on the property together. We planted an olive orchard!

here's a bit from July to early October...around town, some classmates, lots of pics at meals, my new apartment and haircut...

A group from the UK came out and we saw some sights around the city, and went to two small villages. Thanks for letting me have your pics Team!

My room, my birthday, a host family birthday, some friends

I spent a few days in Kapadokia in the snow- another chance to be out of the city!

A trip north, a birthday and skiing!

Thanksgiving, Christmas and random shots from the first few months of 2009

I spent two fantastic weeks in North Africa visiting great friends in November 2008

I said goodbye to many friends and lovely Wales...

My 'best of' pics in the States from August 08. Thanks to friends who took some of these and let me have them!
