Part 4, Turkey 2011: Day Two on Planet Cappadocia

[___io___]

The night had been incredible, after spending the twilight hours with the village women and children in Urgup, we went on our own to see the Mevlanas (A Sufi branch of Islam) perform the Sema Ceremony (you probably know it better as the whirling dervishes) in a Medieval caravansari (more on those later). I can only recall one other time in my life

Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying them. BTW, I hope you're well, lady! Seems like life is looking good from what I read. :)

Not now! Fixed it! Hah, the image in Google was MUCH smaller when I pulled it up..resized it. :)

You're quite welcome. There's much still more to come.

Yunuz sounds like a wonderful man and quite a character! Nothing better than a guide with a sense of humour.

That scenery is astounding; part alien landscape, part cathedral. And so beautiful.

Thank you for yet more lovely photos! :)

He was indeed awesome, possibly the best guide we've ever had (though, to be fair, the bulk of our travel is done completely independently). And yeah, Cappadocia is incredible, there's so much to get into if you're an outdoor enthusiast.

So inspiring, thank you.
I wish I will be able to travel like this in the not too far future.

Ha! I thought I recognized that face. ;)

Hehe, it's one third of a face. It's my personal account. :) Trying to separate personal from work a bit.
