Amazing Ani

Ani is an ancient city (9th century-ish) in Eastern Turkey along the silk road.  It was a major city in its heyday (100,000-200,000 people) until an earthquake destroyed it in the 13th century.  Anyway, you walk through the gate to the city to find some of the remaining buildings.

Proof we were there.....Sofia was tired, ornery, and cold.  So, we parked it by the gate to block us from the wind and keep us in the sun.  Mostly we spent our time looking at bugs.

I'm so glad we will get to go back.
