... high. The carpets were absolutely stunning, and the sales pitch was excellent, though it didn't work on me. We all were ushered into a huge room with cushioned seats along the perimeter. After servings us tea, water and/or alcoholic beverages, the demonstration began. Ariel, the man who runs the co-op, was good-looking, sweet and spoke near-perfect English. He had a small army of handsome young assistants to help him display the rugs to us on the ...

... phallically funny... We had a nice little stop for pictures, including awesome jumping photos. There was aguy selling fresh squeezed OJ, which was really good. It was a good stop in Love Valley before we hopped back on the ATVs to cruise a bit more.

On the map, the guy at the ATV shop had showed me an elaborate route of many valleys and cool stops leading us ultimately to the sunset look out spot high above Goreme... Of course, our guide, far ahead on a dirt bike ...

... I Hate About You," starring, among others, the late Aussie Heath Ledger. But Ledger's character, though quite likeable, is the most unrealistic and frustrating character in the film in that he plays a social outcast. He's a weirdo at his high school. Come on! Heath Ledger?! Heath Ledger would not have trouble in high school! Which is, of course, the problem with all rags-to-riches, the underdog wins high school movies. In "She's All That," two guys make a bet over ...

... suspicious of me, so gave me a tough grilling.
"What's your name?" She's got my passport so already knows my name. She wants to know if I know my own name.
"How old are you?" Ditto. The moral of the story is to always memorize the name and age of any passport you steal.
Well that's a test I apparently passed with flying colors so I'm back on the bus and into Turkey. It's after midnight, but when we get into Trabzon, my intended ...

... new yoga carpet that she can take to her upcoming yoga retreat in Assisi, Italy...  Aidan had a chance to Adopt a Kangal dog for the weekend... as he puts it, "The nicest dogs in the world are in Cappadocia", and I tend to agree... unusually friendly...  He continues to grind away at his parents about getting a pooch... and each time he adopts one of the village dogs, I find myself feeling a bit more guilty for not letting him have his own ...

... thin green and yellow lines! The way the rocks have eroded reminds me of the waves in gelatodisplays or sand dunes! It's fascinating! I walked up to 2 churches, but 1 was closed and you had to pay to enter the other so I skipped it. Then walked on top of the valley looking down at the beautiful landscape on both sides. I got a bit lost but managed to make it to Casvin where you can see the remains of a lost city and some beautiful fairy chimneys. They ...

... I struggled a bit, Dave OKd ok, but our 70 year Shepardared had noworryrrie in the world as he pulled himself (and me) up the **********es! One of the reasons we came on the walk were because we were told that there were lots of turtles around this area. We saw one, but no more. We think we may have taking a wrong turn somewhere, because, there were absolutely no signs to keep you going in the right direction. In the end we made it to the right town with out to ...

Well, we've hopefully just had the most expensive day of travelling...and none of it was in the spreadsheet!!!! Cause if there are many more like it, then we'll be selling off the house and the cat to fund it. But all worth it nonetheless (Shirl may not agree when she's shipped to the Chinese restaurant down the road). Things kicked off with some scooters and a trip around the Cappadocia region to check out some ...

... after the balloon ride) was the Göreme Open-Air Museum, where we saw some remarkably preserved frescoes and wall-paintings in churches carved right into the volcanic tuff. We also stopped at a number of scenic overlook points, as well as the Fırça family pottery store in Avanos and the Yüksel Halı carpet shop in Nevşehir. We learned how a variety of carpets are made and how silk is spun, and we were treated to ...
