Due to the lengthy duration of this project, they've finally done away with the random 7 day work weeks.
I can plan on having Sundays off and last week took advantage of this by doing an overnight/day trip to Kapadokya (as they spell it over here).

I'd never gone hot air ballooning before and it was totally Amazing.
The coolest part was the fact we gained probably a mile in altitude, dropped back down to cruise through canyons, was within 18" of the ground at one point, and then...
Landed the gondola into the trailer within 100 yards of the launch site.
In the foto taken at 10:20, you can see a satellite dish in one of the cave dwellings. Modern living there now!
I am definitely going back!
