Don’t touch that body with the brain still intact. It won’t bite…..but you never know. Embrace the freedom with each layer of the journey in “Digging In.”

Traipse across The Turquoise Coast of Turkey leaving behind blood, sweat, tears and most of your sense of humor in “Turkey in the Middle.”  In “Czeching Out” stagger off a bus after seventeen butt-numbing hours to discover a magnificent city with a hundred heaven-bound spires and a church housing skeletal remains transformed into coffee tables, chairs, coat of arms and chandeliers.
