+<h3>Traveling Erzincan to Cappadocia</h3>
+
+<p>
+The drive from Erzincan to Cappadocia was pleasant.
+There were many little bridges over the road to allow water to cross without washing out the road itself.
+The travelers saw animals, including a herd of sheep that crossed the road forcing a small delay.
+Each town seemed centered around a mosque with tall minarets.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Along the way, the travelers saw an excelent view of Mount Ericyes from the Kayseri side.
+When the view is clear, it is obvious that the mountain is a volcano that has erupted before.

+<h3>Lunch at Sivas</h3>
+
+<p>
+Nancy, Jim, and Blaise stopped at the city of Sivas for lunch.
+This was the birthplace of St. Blaise.
+Sivas is a large city with a complex network of busy roads.
+There are no parking meters, but individual workers make it their business to take a fee from each car that parks for more than one hour.

+<h3>night in Gorome</h3>
+
+<p>
+The travelers arrived in Cappadocia late afternoon, just before sunset.
+They stayed in the town of Gorome, at the center of the Cappadocia region.
+Gorome is a rock city with many buildings built into the walls and pillars

+
+<p>
+Initially there was some confusion about which hotel was correct, as there are many hotels whose names contain some combination of "cave" and "suite".
+The travelers stayed in the Ottoman Cave Suite hotels, which was right at the center of Gorome and afforded wonderful views of the surrounding town during sunset.
+They had a honeymoon suite on the top floor, with a personal hot tub and a wonderful view of the surrounding city.
+The travelers watched the sun set from the roof of their hotel.

+During breakfast, the travelers finally tried the talum from Kemah.
+One of the hotel empoyees shared her own talum, which is made with "black seed" (cumin)

+
+<h2>hike</h2>
+
+<p>
+The travelers took a taxi to the top of the ridge (sun set point) and meandered their way down through the valleys and caves of Cappadocia.
+Ultimately, they arrived at Çavuşin.

+Foolishly, the travelers forgot water and food.
+They were happy to discover an oasis cafe "StarBox" which offered refreshing fruit juice and water.
+This cafe was located right under cross church, and the view into Rose Valley was amazing.
