A Taste of Cappadocia....With a Friend Part 1

When Mason began to plan his trip, we told him to please make sure he had a weekend with us. We suggested taking him on the short 4 hour trip to Cappadocia. As you know, it has become a favorite place for us, and we enjoy sharing it with others.

Our usual cave hotel was booked, but we found a very inexpensive and nice spot that had some available rooms. Here are the kids enjoying breakfast together.

Turkish breakfast!

Though it was May and a very busy time for us, one in which we would not normally do a weekend getaway, CC and I realized after we got there just how tired we were and just how much the Lord knew we needed a little breather before the end of the year. We slept, and talked, and ate, and prayed. He said he left there feeling like he really had needed it. Our jobs are complex as we are shepherding over 40 people on our school team, but also both working full time, normal jobs. We do love the full plate, but the Lord was good to slow us down for a couple of days, too.

Mason loved Cappadocia, and we knew he would. He is very servant-hearted and thankful. We like having him around!

He was having an allergic reaction to some type of food (perhaps from the airplane). We became increasingly concerned, so we hopped in the van to the local town. Within 15 minutes, he was in to see a doctor and get a cortisone shot. By the time we were driving back to the hotel, he felt so much better. So we took him on a hike through the fascinating "fairy chimneys" as they are called.
