Day 2 of Istanbul food quest in pictures...
At the end of our day we got on a night bus around 9pm and arrived in Cappadocia (actually in the town of Goreme) this morning. After a day of lounging around in our guesthouse and adjusting to the weather here (high of 35 today--it's snowing right now!), we just grabbed a bite to eat in town. The coolest part about this town is that it's basically built in and around a series of hundreds of caves. Our guesthouse was half built in a cave so some of the rooms, including ours, are refinished caves.
Excited to explore more tomorrow-- day long trek through the caves so time for sleep!

| A walk down the river side searching for a hole in the wall stop |

| My husband |
 |
| Found it! |
 |
| All the appropriate condiments |
 |
| Kofte with rice and a traditional white bean salad |
 |
| Lentil soup-- one of the best bowls I've ever had |
 |
| The outside-- we believe it's call Koftecisi Arnauk and is owned by a friendly Albanian family |
 |
| Bear dog |
 |
| Magical river side donuts |
 |
| Yeeeesss. |
 |
| Woke up on the bus to this |
 |
| The view of the town from our guest house. Pretty magical. |
 |
| After dark |
 |
| Cave room |
 |
| Dinner included some lentil soup (not as good as the Albanian spot in Istanbul, but still did the trick on a snowy night) |
 |
| And some kebab in a clay pot |
 |
| Pretty good, but I think we can find better versions of this dish |
Excited to explore more tomorrow-- day long trek through the caves so time for sleep!
