We walked past a massage place and the guy at the door says to the hubs: “Massages for you guys? Sir, your wife looks very tired”. I have not been very impressed with this city’s sales pitch 🤣🤣🤣 #Istanbul

How I’d look after doing an overnight #ICU shift. Basilica Cistern, #Istanbul

The Turkish breakfast: this is one of 4 walls of food at our hotel! #Istanbul

#Antalya

So I’ve noticed the booze here in Türkiye is pretty expensive (cocktails are about $20, fuzzy generic yellow beer $10). Makes me wonder: did they make it pricey to discourage drinking due to religion?

This felt like we’re on a different planet! Pamukkale, Türkiye

That’s me!

I think that’s a cat motel! #Turkiye

Our tour guide says everyone gets healthcare, free education until they’re 21, and there’s no homelessness in #Turkiye. How is this possible.

Turkish breakfast at hotel #2. This is NOT a buffet. This is a two person breakfast the server brought to the table! Antalya, Türkiye

Lower Duden Falls. As beautiful as this was, the heat is unbearable and I think I will retreat to our air conditioned hotel room for the rest of the time in #Antalya.

I am finding the heat here in Antalya, Turkey unbearable and yet, it’s even worse back home. Stay safe. Sometimes it feels like our earth is about to spontaneously combust.

I got this zultanite pendant for 55 euros at a “wholesale factory” in #Pamukkale. It changes color, and mined only in Turkey. I now see that it’s about $40 on Etsy 🤦🏻‍♀️

First day in #Cappadocia! We did this ATV Safari sunset tour of the entire valley and it was sooo much fun! This is apparently where every tour company gathers for sunset.

Our hot air balloon is getting inflated!!! #Cappadocia, Türkiye

Via hot air balloon is now my favorite way to see sunrise ☺️. #Cappadocia, Türkiye

Well…traveler’s diarrhea is hitting us pretty hard right now. We decided to go get a late lunch…and I found a long hair in my food. 😭😭😭

This is Love Valley in #Cappadocia. I’m going to dedicate it the coolest urologist on this platform, Ashley Winter MD || Urologist!

School shootings have become “a fact of life”, but the thing is, IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE. We need to elect people who care enough to change this.

I love this video I took so much, I keep watching it! This hot air balloon ride in #Cappodocia was just so incredible!
