Turkey and Jordan Trip - Spring 2008

During May/June 2008, I took my first vacation to the Middle East area. Jordan was amazing - I got to see some historical sites such as Petra, Jesus' Baptism site, the Dead Sea and the Wadi Rum Desert. Then we moved on to Turkey where we saw the ancient Nemrut Dagi statues, the ruins of Ephesus, Oludeniz Beach (and some paragliding), Pamukkale white terraces, the famous rock formations of Cappadocia, and of course, the amazing city of Istanbul. The trip exceeded all expectations!
