Hey Family,
It's only 2 in the afternoon and I am exceptionally ready for a nap. The balloon ride was at the break of dawn, and I was really excited. However, after the inital excitement, the takeoff and everything, I admit it got kind of boring. We just sort of floated up and then down and then up and then down. I was pretty happy to be back on the ground again in one piece, though I think I got some excellent photos.
After breakfast, I took a hike after breakfast up into the rock formations. There were so many fruit trees, grape vines, squash plants, etc. Walking through it all made me think of Uncle Matt and miss him very much. It was a bit of a scramble to get to the top of the cliffs that bound the valley, and even more of a dicey thing getting myself back down again. I had to resort to sliding on my rear end a couple times, resulting in a large amount of the Turkish countryside pouring down into my blue jeans. There was no way I could walk with the thistles and rocks in my drawers, so I ducked into one of the caves in the rocks and stripped. I felt very bold standing there in my undies, shaking out all the dirt and grass. Thank goodness no one wandered by to catch me in the act!
I hiked into town and rented a bicycle to do more exploring, and now my poor bottom is feeling quite abused and done in. Tomorrow is my last day in town but my flight's not until late in the evening, so I've signed up for another day tour, this one of the valley to the south, used for the Star Wars set (I think). I got more photos burned to CD so I will try to send them over.
Love T
