| Turkey 2007 |
We visited Turkey over Easter 2007. There are A LOT more vacation days in the UK and Europe which was so nice for us. We were able to come back to the US now and then and also travel a bit on the continent. Now if only the US would catch on:)
We spent a few days in Istanbul--we saw Hagia Sofia, the Blue Mosque and cruised the Bosphorus River which separates Europe from Asia. We also went to the Istanbul International Film Festival and saw the Dixie Chicks documentary, which we loved. We ended up getting what we coined as 'Instan-bowels' so we actually didn't eat much Turkish food. We hung out in this cool neighborhood called Takim and ate all sorts of different food. We were thanking globalization at that point.
We also headed into south-central Turkey to an area called Cappadocia. This is a unique area since much of its landscape is influenced by a very old volcano that erupted years ago. Now the landscape looks like chimneys. And the rock is so soft that people live in the caves. And we actually stayed in one!! It was amazing!! A fantastic trip!
