A few highlights

So many things are constantly happening that I'm afraid I've fallen a bit behind in updates.  Here are a few highlights from the last week.

1. Hiking around the beautiful area of Goreme:
a. The Open Air Museum
b. Pigeon valley and the nearby Castle, guarding the Silk Road

c. Rose Valley

2. Successfully using public transportation to go to the underground city at Derinkuyu.

3. Seeing old friends (and meeting some new ones) in Ankara and getting a taste of their lives there.  Plus, getting to stay in a house with laundry facilities instead of a crowded hostel.  :)

4. Trying new foods (sometimes with the advice of people who know Turkish) including manti and ayran and always doners.

5. Visiting various museums
Ethnographic Museum
History of Anatolia Museum
Museum in Antalya
 6. Eating cherries...and having a seed spitting contest.

 7. Seeing the mountains and waterfalls around Antalya

 8. Seeing and experiencing parts of Turkey - it's very beautiful.
