Turkish Tales I loved the articles on Pamukkale and Urgup (“Weird Wonders of Ancient Turkey,” Nov. 28). I left Ankara by car on July 8, 1967, and drove into the area of Cappadocia. We stayed


in what was then called “Peri Otel” in Urgup and I was the first American they had seen in a very long time. Goreme was a fairy land and Kaymakli had only recently been discovered . . . I


still remember arriving at Pamukkale and staying at the then-small hotel called “Motel Pamukkale” with the pool with the Roman columns in the bottom! I have wanted to return ever since.


RICHARD J. WARREN Van Nuys * The stories on Turkey opened up a fascinating area. My hat’s off to the authors for forgoing the comforts of a four-star hotel to explore, prod, poke, photograph


and then write with such clarity and beauty. NADIA KAPLAN Los Angeles * Why Not Brazil? On a vacation to Rio de Janeiro and Manaus, my wife and I found that, with a few exceptions, we were


the only Americans in the places that we visited. We rarely see any articles or advertisements of trips to Brazil, where we had one of our most enjoyable vacations. We found Brazilians very


friendly and helpful. Their food was delicious and very inexpensive. We had no unpleasant experiences and felt safe wherever we went, with two or three police officers on duty in almost


every block that tourists frequent. Brazilians told us that they would be afraid to vacation in the United States as they might get shot. DON SLIGHT Thousand Oaks * Source of Inspiration


Thanks to your wonderful Travel section, my Mom and I have traveled to more than 36 countries; 90% of my trips are inspired by or guided by the Sunday Travel section. When I read about


Annette and Eph and their ordeal in Italy (“Travel Horrors,” Oct. 24), I was shocked. Reading about these kinds of problems and taking tips from Reader Recommendations have made our trips


100% successful and safe. (Although that flu in Russia two weeks before the coup almost did us in.) Thanks for helping to guide me in my nomadic pursuits. PAM WALTHERESON Chino MORE TO READ
