Wanderlust

Once again, I've gone MIA; this time I absconded to Turkey for a week.

I needed a break after spending the past two and a half months living in my office.  It was also a nice post-RnR Half treat.

I spent four days in Istanbul, walking somewhere between 8-12 miles a day and taking in sights like these:





I then moved on to Cappadocia for two days to do some hiking and see the cave homes and churches, underground cities, and Uchisar Castle.





The flight home was tough on my IT bands - sitting for 10.5 hours after being so active caused them to tighten up - but I tried my best to get up every couple of hours, walk around, and stretch.  I had to be ready to run the morning after I landed!
