Goreme

During the afternoon we visited the very impressive Goreme open air museum. In the early Christian era this was a nunnery with several churches and other buildings hewn out of the ash/stone.

We were able to visit several of the rooms that had been built into the hillside. There is no question of the rooms being cooler than the 35 degrees heat on the outside. On this day I much preferred to have the 16 degrees inside rather than the temperature outside.
