A recommendation from our guide for lunch proved to be a serious win.
And a follow up coffee at an incredible little shop called Mackbear, right in the heart of the town, was a second win in Ürgüp! I googled it later and read their story, which made it all the more heartwarming to have found them! Hope they'll continue to be successful here.
From there we headed a short distance through town to the studio of Güler Somtürk, a master at the art of ebru, a Turkish art of paper marbling. Using a method of aqueous surface design, she scatters insoluble paint over dense water that is then transferred on to a sheet of paper, which produces a beautiful piece of art.
The technique can also be used on silk, which produced a gorgeous one-of-a-kind scarf!
The different aspects of beauty in Turkey has been amazing for us all to see!
The afternoon was full with more of those amazing sights.
I am beside myself with joy from seeing so many new and beautiful places that I didn't previously know existed!
We ended our day with a stop for pictures to help us remember this surprisingly beautiful part of God's creation.
Steve and Polly, thank you for inviting us to be with you all! It's a trip of a lifetime, and all the better getting to share it with you and the kids!
