Our Turkey Trip Recently we visited Turkey. It was a nice trip and icing on the cake was our son Vikram joining us from Philadelphia. Turkey has very rich history which is being unearthed thanks to initiative of Ataturk Kemal Pasha, a great leader and maker of modern Turkey. Istanbul is nice city though climate aws hot at this time of year. We enjoyed our visits to Topkapi Palace, Aya Sophia Museum and Blue mosque. People were friendly and food was good. Our next stop was Cappadocia where natural rock formations due to erosion from wind and rain on layered rocks is really wonderful. Mushroom rocks and cave natural and man made and Pigeon Vally were really worth seeing. Our trip to Ephesus was another plus mark. Here man made underground cities with upto eight levels are worth visiting. Tourists generally allowed up to four levels. They make us wonder about human ingenuity and also make one aware of the hardship faced by them. Overall it is a truly modern country worth visiting.
