Nothing but pictures from China

.
Anyone who has been around me long enough knows that I take a lot of pictures....most of which are bad and never see the light of day. An even smaller number of those eventually make it to the blog posts here. But I had so many good pictures from China I'm making this post as a sort of a filtered gallery. Enjoy.

Beijing part two: The Great Wall

As promised we spent two days exploring Beijing, so here is the rest of it.
In this trip we check off one of the 7 modern wonders of the world.

See if you can guess which one...

Exploring Beijing: Part one

We had a couple days off and spent them in Beijing!

Greetings from China

Just giving an update, letting everyone know how we are doing in China.

Spoiler alert, we are doing great

Vlog: Whiskers no more

Watch as I fumble through some Turkish words to get a haircut.

Hear the story after the break

We sure do like Hot Air Balloons

So a big part of Cappadocia was Hot Air Ballooning, and it was a lot of fun. So much so that it gets its own post.

A vlog and the good pictures from our ride after the break

Cappadocia Rocks!

Slight apologies for the pun, but we seriously found the best part of Turkey.

Vlog: Going to Istanbul

Time for this weeks vlog. Here you get to see Katie's parents traveling from our area around Izmit back to Istanbul for their flight home.

As I type this I'm at the airport about to board the plane for our next excursion. This time we are going to Cappadocia! We are really excited for this trip, and I can't wait to share it with everyone. Also we have Starbucks =).

Walking around Istanbul

Arriving back in Istanbul from the Turkish country side, we were excited to see what the ancient city had in store for us.

Pamukkale

Sometimes short titles are the best ones.

Vlog: Euro-league Basketball Excursion

Time for the Vlog of the week.

Watch as we trek into Istanbul and see what a sporting event in Turkey is like.  Had a ton of fun with this, hope you all enjoy it. 

Feel free to comment about the movie down below and if you have any questions ask away. Peace.

Updates, Dogs, and Copyright fun

As promised, there weren't just cats that we've seen while traveling around. So here is a collection of all the puppy dogs being cute and adorable.

They just want love and attention

More of the vacation with the folks

After our adventure into Ephesus, our day was not over. Our tour had many other plans for us.


                                  

And the rain decided to stick around as well

Why no posts last week

I know you all were looking forward to more posts last week, but sometimes stuff just gets in the way. Like getting sick. But don't fret, we are feeling much better and with it days and days of content. Everything from pictures, vlogs, limestone covered mountains, and even basketball. 

Oh and dogs. 

Keep checking in!

The cats of our adventures

As sort of a side post, a lot of little fury creatures kept finding their way to us. So here's a collection of the cuteness. 

Cat gang

Whirlwind exploring

Last week Katie's parents made the long flight over and since this isn't something that we get to do often, it only made sense that we should see as much of Turkey as possible.

Snow and Snow sports?

So it doesn't exactly snow much in Turkey, but lately we have been having some extreme weather for the area.
And everyone knows snow can make for quite fun pictures.

More after the break.
