Cappadocia

I went to Cappadocia. Not very far from Ankara, together with Istambul Cappadocia is the most known place in Turkey, the one where every tourist goes. Actually it is really beautiful: rocks and hills with strange shapes everywhere, huge houses dig in the stone, two thousand year old churches painted by the first christians, magical valleys where nature and humans seem to have found the perfect balance. We stayed in the house of a turkish friend and she took us around for three days. We visited hidden corners where tourists don't go and places where everyone goes, we walked a lot under the sun and we took local buses and we hitchhiked when we missed them. But aboveall we profited of turkish hospitality,: every day we were invited by some of his friends who cooked for us delicious, traditional food, we participated in a circumcision cerimony (the kid was wearing a very funny suit, like a magician in the fairy tales, and had also a stick) and in a pre-wedding cerimony (where women and men danced always separately and i had to dance with the groom because he invited me: at a moment he came so close that i thougth he wanted to kiss me and i was a bit surprised but then i understood that it's turkish way of dancing).
