12 more minutes before we leave for the rural Turkish village. I go armed with only the handful of Turkish phrases that I've picked up. My vocabulary consists of: thank you, please, no, yes, one, good morning/night, how are you, and you, good, hi and bye. My relentless questions Medina(one of the hotel staff woman) every morning haven't really prepared me for the trip, but I have my two Turkish phrase books. I plan to look those over on the 10 hour car ride ahead and hopefully add a few things to my collection of sayings.
Hamza told us that he called the village yesterday and they were all preparing for our arrival. Already they've repainted all the walls and ordered new chickens (upon hearing that one of our boys ate seven eggs at breakfast). This is sure to be a rare experience and I'm definitely ready to get out of the city. I can only handle so many museums and souvenir shops. Hamza says that the countryside is just magical and I have only heard the best of things about Cappadocia. Off we go!
10 hours by car? eesh. at least they'll have a big stack of eggs waiting. good luck with the next leg of the trip!
