Along my road to Adana, I ran into these two guys cycling from Mersin to Adana on very skimpy resources, and bikes that looked quite beaten up. When I pulled into the gas station they asked if I had seen a black bag . . . to which I replied, "yeah, about four kilometers back". So, one of the guys jumped on his bike and headed back to find the bag. Meanwhile, the other guy started fixing a flat tire. I kicked back and drank a cola. Across the road from the gas station, up on a high escarpment sat the Ceyhan Castle (pictured below).
By the way, while relaxing at the station, the guy finally returned with his black bag strapped around his neck. It had their money in it!
When I arrived in Adana, I easily found my locale on the city map when I crossed the 4C AD Roman Stone Bridge (36°59'10.5"N 35°20'03.4"E), which is still one of the busiest bridges in the city.
I had to spend a couple nights in Adana because my computer was being serviced (don't ask!), the Adana Archeological Museum was closed for the summer (don't ask!), and I found some wonderfully tart cherries, that, are a certain variety of cherry (but a truly beautiful tasting fruit), and I ate them ALL . . . (don't ask what happened a short time later!!).
