Turkey - Day 7 or 8 I lost count.

This is going to be somewhat brief because I am tired and hungry. But it was a great day. I was reunited with my pack this morning when I arrived in Cappadocia. After getting to town and finding a hostel (in a cave), I went wandering to the open air museum. It is full of cave churches with mosiacs that are still bright and vibrant. Unfortunately they don't allow many pictures of the best ones. I then went wondering in the valleys that the pictures are of in the last post. There are trails that just go in and out everwhere. I just tried to somewhat get lost and find my way out. Along the way I had tea with a very old man living in one of the old cave houses with a perfect view of town. He didn't speak a word of english but was a perfect host cooking the tea on an open fire. Then I met a kurdish man that lived in a cave next to him and he gave me grapes from the valley and we talked about the kurds in Turkey. They really appreciate americans after gulf 1.
Finally after I reached the top of the far valley wall I took lots of pictures of the sunset over the valley and walked back in the dark. The basic map I had didn't show any roads on that side of the valley. I had my headlamp but the moon was so bright I never needed it.
I have a guided tour of some other areas and the underground cities tomorrow. Then an 8pm bus back to Istanbul for my last full day in Turkey.
