Our journey was also made a bit longer by the hills we had to go over to reach Goreme, the town in Cappadocia we were headed to. Our bus struggled up the hills. Unfortunately that ...

We made thıs realızatıon too lıttle too late. Before we knew ıt, we were handed freshly grılled Gozleme and salted BBQ chıcken (and coke poured ınto ...

... on high overlooks, the layers of rock become visible, and it becomes easy to see why, for example, the Rose Valley is so-named. The rock in that valley is a striking rose color that contrasts with the lighter, beige rock closer to Goreme. This really is a unique and wondrous piece of God's creation. I head out of Cappadocia tomorrow. This has been a wonderful place to visit. This town is just so friendly and ...

... giant cathedral room with columns and arches and even well-maintained frescoes. Truly a phenomenal place. After spending several hours at the cathedral, we stopped in the town of Selime to enjoy the sun setting on the mountain and having small village children show us their neighborhood. Georgeous sunset amid spectacular rock valleys and distant snow-capped mountains was a perfect setting for a great day of travel!

We had loads of fun pulling over when we wanted and ...

... s turning toward God and truth, a maturing through love, the transformation of self as a way of union with God, and the return to life as the servant of all creation. The Semazen (with a camel's-felt hat representing a tombstone of the ego; and a wide, white skirt symbolizing the ego's shroud), upon removing his black cloak, is spiritually reborn to Truth. The semazens stand with their arms crossed, ready to begin their ...
