traveling Kayseri to Develi

+ +

+The travelers enjoyed a wonderful drive over Mt Erciyes from Kayseri to Develi. +They met their guide (Selim Akdoğan) at the entrance of town. +

+ +

Armenian vineyards

+ +

+The traveler's ancestors that lived in Develi had the surname Torosian. +This corresponds to the Toros mountain range, which pass through Develi. +

+ +

+The Torosians were, in part, vineyard owners. +There are no longer vineyards in Develi, but the same valley described in Nancy's notes still has visible terracing from those days. +The entire area was clearly farmed in the past. +The guide Selim remembered the time when there were vineyards from his own childhood. +

+ + +Valley in Develi, showing signs of terracing. +[38.392 N, 35.502 E]
+ +

old fountain

+ +

+Nancy's notes contained references of a fountain, where spring water would emerge with great force. +This old fountain has been converted into a swimming pool. +There are many springs around Develi, which lead to a "ground irrigated" effect and relatively fertile soil. +

+ + +old fountain, now a swimming pool. +[38.387 n, 35.501 e]
+ +

ruins of St. Trovos

+ +

+The guide Selim showed the travelers where the ruins of St. Trovos were. +This is likely where the Torosians would have attended church. +It has now been made into a childrens playground, with only one wall of the church still standing. +

+ + +Ruined wall of St. Trovos church. +Left to right: unknown local man, Selim, Nancy, Jim. +[38.387 N, 35.496 E]
+ +

municipality office

+ +

+Selim was kind enough to introduce the travelers to the municipality officials at the head office of Develi. +These are the locally elected government officials. +The travelers were introduced to the acting mayor, and the acting director of culture and social affairs. +These officials were very accommodating, seeing that all needs were taken care of. +They even vacuum packed the goat cheese (Tulum) that the travelers were still carrying from Kemeryaka. +The culture and social affairs director (Ali Orhan), stayed with the travelers for the remainder of their visit. +

+ +

+All enjoyed a discussion of Torosian property and Develi history. +A map showing the various districts of Develi hung on the wall. +The Torosian family lived in the Fenesse district. +The Everek district was close by, but separated by Turkish occupied land. +

+ + +Districts of Develi.
+ +

Fenesse

+ +NO ACTUALLY EVEREK + +

+After meeting the municpality officials, the travlers, guide Selim, and cultural affairs director Ali headed out to take a walking tour of Fenesse. +This is the district where the Torosians lived. +

+ + +A sign points the way to Fenesse. +[38.391 N, 35.492 E]
+ +

+A school near the town center was serving a special "noah soup", celebrating the date when the biblical arc made ground. +Nancy was of great interest to the local students as a professor from America. +All gathered around to try out their ability to speak english. +

+ + +Travelers enjoy "noah soup". +Foreground left to right, acting mayor, local government man, Ali, Selim, Jim. +Note very large soup bowl on table. +[38.387 N, 35.492 E]
+
+ + +Students gather around Nancy. +All are interested to hear and speak English. +Students asked if Americans learn about Turkey. +[38.387 N, 35.492 E]
+ +

+Along the walking tour of Fenesse, the travelers meet a local family making grape honey on the street. +They share their creation, which tasted very sweet with unusual undertones. +

+ + + + +Locals reduce grapes into a rich honey. +[38.383 N, 35.491 E]
+ +

+They visited many old buildings. +

+ + +Typical old building in Fenesse. +Many of these buildings were around even when Armenians occupied this area. +[38.383 N, 35.490 E]
+
+ +

+There were also local people knocking down walnuts from trees. +The freshly harvested walnuts had a strong flavor. +

+ + +Locals use a long stick to harvest from a walnut tree.
