KAPADOKYA
One thing about the Turkish language is the letters are always pronounced the same way, none are silent and every single one is pronounced. Of course they have more letters than we do which adds a mild degree of complication. The English version is Cappadocia. I went there this weekend and didnt get to see or do everything. Kinda typical, but this place is so chock full of nooks and crannies that you probably couldnt see it in a year let alone two days. You have to google it to get the history, but it goes way on back into the BC's. The hotel I stayed at was the Caravanserai Hotel in Goreme and sleeping in a cave was pretty cool. Anyway to sum up: great food and Cappadocian wine, Love Valley, Zelve open air museum, belly dancers, whirling dervishes, fairy chimneys, Turkish bath, underground city of KaymaklI (which has one of those extra letters -the I is actually different and looks like a small capital I). I have a couple of pictures here, but this is definitely one of those places that pictures can't seem to capture and ought to be on everybody's bucket list.
