On the Med

Left Cappadocia yesterday. Made our way over the beautiful Taurus Mountains, and kept going South until we ran into the blue of the Mediterranean Sea.

Stopped in Konya along the way to see the Mevlana Muzesi, where Rumi is buried. Home to the whirling dervishes, this is one of the pilgrimage stops for Muslims. It was wonderful to be surrounded by so many pilgrims - cannot help but be affected by such powerful emotions.
