Post by: Nowledge on August 21, 2004, 07:30:02 PM
So here are some pics I just scanned from my trip with my friend Keith, we haven't exposed all the film yet due to post trips funds but heres a taste. It's pretty easy to guess which one is me.

This is me in Essauoira at our first hotel.

A little taste of the food.

This is a major Mosque, I got ripped off on a Hash buy 50 yards behind this picture.

We found this cock chiseled out of a stone block, I'm pretty sure someone left it for tourists to find.

Me and my stone cock, priceless.

You can't see it in this picture but there are some faces and Roman text engraved in these arches.

This is one of the few remaining tile Mosaics.

Great pics.

Those are very cool pics. I'm a little surprised they have left that mosaic out in the elements though. You would think it would have been removed to a museum or something.

Yeah, theres also trash all over and a bunch of other mosaics that aren't covered. I don't blame anyone even though it could be remedied, it's hard to point fingers on such things with up to 40% unemployment in said country.

I remember when I was wee lad and was over in Greece/Turkey there wasn't much trash laying around sites like the Parthenon  (http://academic.reed.edu/humanities/110Tech/Parthenon.html) and Ephesus (http://www.sailturkey.com/panoramas/ephesus/).

The problem with going to those places when you're a snot nosed teenager is that while it's cool and interesting stuff, you can't show it because your parents are right there and you wouldn't want them thinking you were actually interested in something other than comics and video games.
