Hey everyone, sorry we haven’t been updating the blog recently. We’ve been meaning to. Anyway I have spent a while putting these pictures on.
I’ve uploaded the best pictures of Cappadocia. As many of you know, Cappadocia is in the middle of Turkey. Cappadocia was the first place we visited in Turkey. The people we met in Cappadocia were above nice. They went far out of their way to help us. If you get invited to someone’s house, that means they trust you. It was an honor for us when we were invited to the Özer’s house for dinner. The Özers are a nice family that we met in Turkey, they are good friends of our host, Barbara. Now they are friends of ours. In the pictures we have crazy Ali, Kamile Özer and her family and friends and Momut. All of those people helped us a terrific amount.
The women do every thing in Cappadocia, from making the beds to making the fire. In Cappadocia we lived a traditional Turkish life, but our dad made the fire. Usually Abby and I did the dishes.
There are so many things to do in Cappadocia. One time we went to a place called Avano. In Avano we got to do pottery. That was very fun. In other you can explore the underground city, tour the castles, clime into the fairy chimney, and stay in the cave dwellings. In Cappadocia we spent a lot of time going to ruins, motorcycling, and most of all cooking. Cooking dinner was the hardest because it was our biggest meal. We didn’t have a microwave so even leftovers we hard to make. Right after dinner we would be very tired because dinner was so hard to make.
I hope you like all the pictures. Cappadocia is a great place, I hope you decide to go there for your next vacation. Thanks for checking the blog. Tell me what you thought about the pictures.

Hi everyone just saying hi and that Abby and have some new stuff on our blog. Tell us what you think. Thanks for checking the blog. What a busy few days in Baltimore… I think we need a month long vacation to recover! It was great to see everyone. We had a great time getting together with some friends at Bordy , ate some great homemade dinners at Tammy’s, Sonia’s, Carl and Jenn’s and Mike and Betsy’s house, the girls had a few playdates, we got to visit my old school and wander the neighborhood visiting our friends. In the middle of all this, Bobby attended a few meetings , I wrote a paper and we had our review at the home schooling office. Seeing everyone was great but saying Good-bye again was not so much fun. As we are driving down I95, I look at the RV dwellers and wonder how they handle all the good-byes that are associated with this nomadic lifestyle we are living. Off Again. We call this our "pack and play". All packed up and ready to play in the Florida Keys! We’re back in Baltimore!! Our plane touched down safely. We are so happy to be back and we want to see everyone. Also, I think we might have brought the snow. J Hey everyone, just want to let you know that I have a new essay on my page (Abby will have hers on soon too). So you can check that out. Also, we’re coming home on the 27th of this month. Cool huh!!! But we’ll only be home for a week, than we head down to the keys Bobby on Sabbatical We are back in Sevilla after an amazing trip to Rome to see my sister, Veblena, and her husband Mauro. The trip was a real treat. I was able to re-connect with Veb and the girls got to have some good aunt-niece time. Oh… and we got to tour some medieval villages in Umbria and Tuscany, visit St. Peters Cathedral and the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican, walk around the Coliseum and the ancient Roman Forum, and breath in the energy in the countless Piazzas with their Bernini statues… and the list goes on. Here’s a link to our pictures of Rome. We are now completely exhausted and need to rest up before we get on another plane to come home to the States! Hi Everyone, |
