On to Cappadocia

From Ankara we drove on east and south, taking in the great variety of scenery and countryside. Turkey is not a huge country--about the size of Texas or California--but its variety of landforms and scenery is impressive. And so far we have seen only a bit of central Turkey.

It's been years since I have seen a Gulf station, but they're

A rural cemetery, rough stones as markers; Muslim

cemeteries do not appear particularly well manicured

The road from Ankora to Goreme, particularly the high

plains, are fairly littered with tumuli like this and the one in

the background; sometimes they are double tumuli (his and

hers?); none signed in any way; must look this up...
