Up, Up and Away!
Today I went up in a hot-air balloon for the first time. It was an awesome experience, definitely worth the huge hole in my wallet and the lack of sleep due to a 4:50 AM pick-up time. The trip we took lasted for about 1 1/2 hours and flew across Kapadokya, the 2nd most beautiful place to go hot-air ballooning! However, according to our veteran pilot, David, who has flown hot-air balloons for 25 years all over the world, Kapadokya is the BEST place! I couldn't imagine a better place to go up, up and away.

A beautiful view from up high
We got close enough to the tree that I could pick apricots!
Looks like it was photoshopped, eh?

Around the World in 80 Days?
Dr. Seuss anyone?
The landscape was beautiful
