This spring, we spent a long weekend in Cappadocia, a region in central Turkey famous for its fantastical topography and unusual rock formations that soar into the sky.

It feels like you’re on another planet, or maybe even the set of the Flintstones.

What makes this surreal landscape even more amazing is the fact that people have been carving homes, churches, and cities into the rocky landscape for more than 10,000 years.

During our time there, we (me, John, and some wonderful friends we met in Istanbul) hiked, rode a hot air balloon, explored an underground city, and even stayed in a cave hotel.

Here’s a short video I made with the highlights:
