Kapadokya
A 12 hour bus ride dumped us in the dramatic desert landscape of Kapadokya (Cappadoccia) at 7:00 a.m., just as the morning's balloons were coming down. Here we were busy with hikes and a driving tour to an underground city, Ilhara Valley, a dramatic Crater Lake and medieval monastery carved out of rock. 2 Nights and 3 days later we took a second 12 hour, overnight bus ride to Fethiya, on the Southwest coast.

Shortly after this photo was taken the children dropped burning sparklers on the tablecloth, resulting in heavy charring.

BTW, the incident occurred because the owner of the restaurant heard us talking about Grandma Karen's birthday and he thought it was someone's birthday and so brought out the sparklers.
