The Central Turkey area known as Cappadocia is beautiful and geologically unique. Taking a sunrise balloon ride over the valleys and rock formations really gives you an incredible view of this landscape. I went with Kapadokya Balloons and had a wonderful pilot and guide named Graham. I stayed in Goreme at the Travel Inn cave. The rooms were dug into a cliff. Don't miss the Goreme Open Air Museum. Amazing.
Filling the balloon with hot air...
A few other tourists had the same idea.

Flintstones like landscape.

I love this place.
This one reminds me of a rabbit head.
Huge mountians with snow in Turkey!
Made me homesick for Alaska.
