Izmir, Turkey

Izmir was a little scary at first, but turned out to have some pretty cool sights. We stopped at a castle, the old Agora (marketplace), an old elevator that gave us views of the city, and did a little shopping. To finish it off, what trip to Turkey wouldn't be complete with a cab driver trying to double his original quote for the trip? Learning quick that cab drivers are not your friends. "Special price" does not mean a "low price". :)
