Thessaly's Tooth

I’m in Turkey to work at the site of Zincirli. We awesomely have wireless internet, so I’ll try to post once in a while.
Yesterday we went to Gaziantep to get residency permits. There we met the Chief of Police and had tea, then we met the mayor of Favzipasha, the small town wher we are staying, and met the governor of the province of Gaziantep, where we got Coke instead of tea. We also visted the museum in Gaziantep and looked at mosaics from the Roman town of Zeugma, which were pretty awesome. Then we went to a restaurant higher up in the mountains and ate freshly caught fish, which was delicious.
Today we hiked around the site looking for the location of the city gates–the site was excavated in the late 1800s and we were looking for the areas of the former excavation.
