Since I cannot do the landscape any justice using only words, please check out the photos tab to see what we were able to experience and read along with the captions.
Also a bit of humor: On the way home we went to a rest stop for supper and all of the Europeans were excited to see there was a McDonald's to eat at. Although I don't usually eat this food I agreed to go along, especially because I was currently running low on Lira and wanted to use my credit card until I could exchange more cash in Ankara. Well, my credit card was declined. McDonald's in Turkey does not take American credit cards...how's that for irony.
