istanbul, take two.
we find ourselves on our last day in cappadocia. it has been very cool. it looks like the moon here -- actually, parts of star wars were inspired by this place, or so they say. we rode horses at sunset, took a verrrry long tour yesterday, took a hike on which we thought we were lost for hours, but turned out to be next to a main road and had only been hiking for 45 minutes...good times. it is hot here, but definitely not as bad as olympos. that was insanity. this town is not big enough for all of us, though. every time we leave the hotel, we see every single person we've met here.
we are at the treehouses in olympos. our "room" is literally a treehouse with gaping holes in the walls/ceiling, and a mattress on the floor. i think i'm what you'd call a "luxury traveler" -- this kind of stuff doesn't fly with me. i think i got a tummy illness from the nasty food (the guidebook also warns against "sewage" in the beach water near here. yummy.) but i'm feeling a bit better.
three things to note:
We find ourselves among tourists (not Turkish ones) here in Seljuk. The waitress at our hotel is from Sacramento. A curious place indeed. Last night we went to a local bar and taught the tourist crew how to play Set. Got some funny pictures, which, at this rate, we will not get to share with anyone until we return.
We are having some difficulty uploading photos to the blog...we will try posting them before leaving turkey tomorrow. Stay tuned!
