Floating above Cappadocia in Turkey

Oct 18, I went to Turkey and Greece for 10 days with members of my church. It was my first time to visit Turkey and Greece. On the third day we went to Cappadocia. The Cappadocia area has deep cavities within the volcanic rocks, and underground cities. We went on one of the hot air-balloon flights, which last about an hour and a half, early in the morning to see the sunrise. I counted 40 balloons in my view, but another person on the other side counted 60 balloons. It’s a bit pricey but worth it to fly about 1000 meters high. It was a beautiful, unforgettable experience.

a Tisket, a Tasket

I stitched these four beautiful small squares (Garden Salad, Blueberry bucket, Vegetable stew, Fruit basket) in 2002 and left these with my web friend who does quilts. I left these with her when I visited Korea about three years ago, and I have not yet received the finished quilt project.
