Bird Flu (Istanbul)

As you may have gathered, I take bird flu seriously. (I may be the only one in all of Europe to do so, but I do!) To everyone else, I am silly. But you just wait! Either way, you fear it or you don't. You either are amused by pigeons (nasty, filthy birds) or you're not. Turkey has actually had quite a few cases of bird flu, and I became certain on this day, that it all began at these ruins. Horrified to be in flip flops, certain my toes were being contaminated, I am with Jason, who is thrilled beyond belief to climb around, touch things and become explorer Jason. Needless to say, he bathed in anti-bacterial soap that night!

Look how happy he is! I swear he is standing at the entrance to Pigeon Cave!

See all those pleasant enough people? See all that rubbish? Bird flu. I'm convinced.

There's no point to this picture. Just more of the ruins!
