The Journey home....

Well, I've reached the first leg on my trip home.....Adana, Turkey. It's amazing here mainly because we came in during the day. I had a window seat and was astonished by the intricate highway system they had here, the numerous enormous warehouses, buildings, apartment buildings, all surrounded by dirt roads and shanty type houses. Just the simple contrast accentuated by the large viaducts with tons of water flowing through it. It was amazing also the enormous mountain range (the Caucasus Mountains) blanketed with snow and leading down to the valleys of vast towns with loads of agricultural fields throughout the countryside.

This of course is amazing to me because on the way over here it was night time so I didn't see any of this. Flying into the air base was nice to see all of the surrounding towns, people going on with their daily lives and me, on my way home!

I'm looking forward to the next leg of the trip into Germany and sitting next to the window! Hopefully there will be no clouds so I can see a lot! I will check back in there! Almost home!!!!
