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

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> + +<img src="kayseri-develi/trovos.jpg" + alt="" + width="100%"> +Ruined wall of St. Trovos church. +Left to right: unknown local man, Selim, Nancy, Jim. +[38.387 N, 35.496 E] <br> + +<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> + +<img
