The day is still young and we are off to breakfast and will be posting more later!
After breakfast we toured the countryside and Meli stopped to talk to some local farmers planting seeds near the road, so we stopped and they permitted us to take their photograph and they gave us some nice greens which we later had as a delicious salad!
We stopped at a carpet factory and learned that in Turkey, carpets really do fly!

Carolyn bought a couple carpets, one which is amazing and will actually be hung up in our guest room.
Aftewards, we visited one of the earliest known churches in Christianity - carved into the solid rock and then visited Hasan and Fatama, a very nice local couple who farm and still live in one of the rock carved dwellings in Cappadocia.
