Goreme, Turkey

Pottery tree

On our way to the Goreme's Open Air museum there was this pottery store that placed a crap load of pots all over this dead tree. I'm guessing this was one of the original ideas of hanging their goods on a dead tree, as later i saw fake dead trees holding jewlery and the evil eyes at touristy spots. Just a guess.

Multiple rooms in the Open Air Museum

The museum was filled with endless amounts of tiny churches. Some of them looked like you could only fit maybe ten people inside at most. This picture of Wai was just a normal room but it seemed the roof caved in from the upstairs. I was told that the Open Air Museum at the neighboring town is way better.

Bouldering in Love Valley.

Maybe a V1? I'd go farther if the rock wasn't made of sand. So Wai and I spent half a day Venturing out into Love Valley. The trail wasn't properly marked and we found ourselves back at Goreme. We knew the valley ran parallel to our road so we ventured out and looked for a way down. We ended up finding this animal path that we hiked/slid/tumbled down for a few hundred feet. We saw what we came for, huge falic formations of stone. Hence the name of the valley. If you want to see the giant penis rocks, you can check out my photo set later when i sort my pictures.
