Dad in Turkey - Cappadocia

Last nıght our group went to see a Whırlıng Durvısh ceremony. It ıs a religious ceremony performed by a sect of the Suni Muslims. İt was very solome and trance like. Not at all what İ expected. No photos allowed and no clapping at the end. I always thought that the Whırlıng Durvish was more like a form of entertainment with colorful costumes. Not the case last night. They wore a white outfit with a tall wool hat when they danced.

Today we are in Cappadocia. İt ıs a region known for pottery and clay tile making. Also for silk carpet weaving. So today is a shopping experience day!

All for now. Have to go and catch my bus.

Love

Dad
