+<h3>traveling Kayseri to Develi</h3>
+
+<p>
+The travelers enjoyed a wonderful drive over Mt Erciyes from Kayseri to Develi.
+They met their guide (Selim Akdoğan) at the entrance of town.
+</p>
+
+<h3>Armenian vineyards</h3>
+
+<p>
+The traveler's ancestors that lived in Develi had the surname Torosian.
+This corresponds to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taurus_Mountains">Toros mountain range</a>, which pass through Develi.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+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.
+</p>
+
+<img src="kayseri-develi/terracing.jpg"
+ alt=""
+ width="100%">
+Valley in Develi, showing signs of terracing.
+[38.392 N, 35.502 E] <br>
+
+<h3>old fountain</h3>
+
+<p>
+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.
+</p>
+
+<img src="kayseri-develi/pool.jpg"

+old fountain, now a swimming pool.
+[38.387 n, 35.501 e] <br>
+
+<h3>ruins of St. Trovos</h3>
+
+<p>
+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.
+</p>

+
+<h3>municipality office</h3>
+
+<p>
+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 <a href="https://www.develi.bel.tr/birimlerimiz/kultur-ve-sosyal-isler-mudurlugu">acting director of culture and social affairs</a>.
+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.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+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.

+
+<p>
+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 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.

+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.
