Cappadocia was one of the highlights of our trip. The moon-like rock formations of the Red Valley, Goreme fairy-chimney houses, underground cities of Saratli, and the 9th century caravan hotel we visited were all fascinating.
It's funny, when I told co-workers my husband and I would be honeymooning in Turkey, everyone had a strange look on their face that said, "Why Turkey?" And now all I can think of is why hasn't anyone told me about this amazing country sooner? Now I know why our most well-traveled friends and family highly recommended visiting this country. Given that you have the time and money, how can you not?

Red Valley - The name of this spot would probably have more meaning if I took this picture during sunrise.
