Although they no longer
live in the fairy chimneys, the locals continue to maintain their
fields in the volcanic ash.
This boy is trying
to make easy money off tourists with wildflowers.
This cozy room was
carved into the volcanic ash, called tuff.
Dondurma is the Turkish
word for ice cream, and there is no ice cream in the world as
smooth and delicious as that available on the street in Turkey!
This vendor has just pulled the cone from Anita's hand. They play
games with you when you really, really want that cone of dondurma!

Pruning a grapevine.
Gathering the prunings.
Grandma is sitting
with her grandchildren around the firepit. We had lunch at their
home in the valley of Cappadocia.
We were served manti,
a Turkish ravioli.
This is the home in
the valley of Cappadocia where lunch was provided with a local
family.
When we were in the
heart of the Kapadokya valley, I looked up and saw riders going
single file along the distant ridge. The only way into the valley
is on foot or horseback; there are no roads for cars.
