Turkey: Cappadocia

Bob went on a business trip to Turkey. He was able to take a sight-seeing trip to Cappadocia.
From 300 AD on, the early church came to this area, at times hiding. There are many underground cities.
This area of lava rock formations is located in the center of the country.
Homes, monasteries, churches and stores have been carved out of the soft rock for centuries.






Bob saw homes, still used, with satellite dishes. He said the mounds remind him of Swiss cheese.
