Cappadocia, Turkey

It was nice to get to Cappadocia. I've been here a few times before and I feel like I know my way around. Dad and I went hiking the day we got there and got lost almost first thing! It was getting dark and we ended up traversing a few fields and valleys in order to get back to where we were supposed to be. Oh well, got one good photo out of it.

The next morning I wandered around Avanos. The original builders and inhabitants were Armenian. I always feel a mixture of joy and sadness when I walk these streets in the morning. Such a pretty place, but everyone that once lived here met an unfortunate death.




Cappadocia is known for its old churches carved right into the rocks. This is one of them.
