Back in April we spent part of the kids' Spring Break in Cappadocia with some friends. We were only there for two days, but they were jam-packed with fun. Unfortunately, we didn't have a camera with us (other than my iPhone). The Bowens, however, are prolific photographers and were nice enough to make us a couple of discs of photos. So...I am going to be doing a series of posts.
We drove up on Friday and stayed at the Travel Inn Cave Hotel in the village of Goreme. We were in the family room. There were 5 twin beds and a double. It was a nice hotel for a fair price and included a traditional Turkish breakfast. The air was a little humid and musty, but it's built in a cave so that's to be expected.
We explored an underground city, climbed around some fairy chimneys, watched hotair balloons at sunrise, ate good food, did some shopping and saw craftsmen (and women) at work. I will get more into all of those in the next few posts. My overall thoughts are that it was a great time with some great friends in a beautiful area.

Traveling with good friend is the best! I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.
