Something overdue

Back in time. I never posted this...but it is so worthy of being posted. Especially for the MS family who has since left me. I always chickened out on adventure that included heights and claustraphobic spaces with you guys, but not this time!!! I did it! Read on. So, after we left Konya (several posts back...remember the oldest salt shaker in the world?), we headed back to Kapadokya to let the visitors see one last sight before they left us and headed to Ephesus. I told you, so much cool stuff in Turkey. Kapadokya is such a neat place. (Cappadocia is the English spelling--1 Peter 1:1). It is the neatest place. There are all these land formations of rock that people at one point in history had built their houses into. We toured a bit, shopped a bit. The tourist areas are full of shopping, and of course since I have a problem...I had to stop in and do a bit of shopping. All gifts,... of course. We had the food that they're known for. Chicken in a pot basically. But, they bake the chicken in the clay pot and then you get to break it open to get your food out! I don't think everybody gets to open it or maybe even wants to, but of course we did! It's all part of the experience! I opened one, even though I wasn't eating it! I hope my pot's owner didn't get to much grit in their chicken! I might have whacked the pot a little bit too hard!

So, while we were in Kapadokya, we did some exploring. You know, last time I went on the near death (maybe small exaggeration...maybe not!) four-wheeler experience. This time, I faced my fear of heights and claustrophobia! So, the picture below may not look as grandiose to you as it does to me, but give me a little credit here! If you look very very closely, there is a window near the top... I'm in the window. I climbed and crawled through the rock to reach the window! Aren't you so proud! Doesn't matter. It was big to me!
