Never knew I was mispronouncing Cappadocia all these years. Now I know. Our guide, Mehmet, is always behind with his schedule because he likes to talk so this morning we had to stop at the Crystal Terrace which is a glass suspended platform suspended from over the edge of a cliff above the Tokatli Canyon (that looked a little like Letchworth State Park). The only way I was able to walk across this platform was to not look down. Not sure how I am going to do the balloon ride in Cappadocia tomorrow morning, but I will try.

The views were absolutely beautiful and we were lucky it was a sunny morning.

Our next stop was supposed to be a village called Yörük but there was a problem because several women had to go to the bathroom and this was all there was! Even though we checked out of the hotel Mehmet had the bus driver return so we could use the rest rooms in the lobby.

The village we visited was very small and museum like. It was filled with 17th to 19th century homes. The owner of the home that we toured was the 8th generation in his family to live there. I was very fascinated by the hand painted artwork on the walls because the style was very similar to artwork found in New England homes during the same period. The fact that I took some painting classes in this style made this more meaningful.
