1: KAPADOKYA BALLOONS

To make up for several weeks of vacation (and a long vacation away from BigBrightBold) I wanted to introduce several posts today that showcase my favorite five things from Turkey. I will definitely be sharing more photos and insights later this month, but these posts serve as a preview of the beauty yet to come.

I'm a person of favorites. I typically (and tirelessly) ask everyone what their favorite foods, their favorite movies, or their favorite vacation memories are. I always ask, but I seldom have my own "favorite" answer. Yet, this time, the Hot Air Balloon ride wins hands down. Although the Turkey trip was full of awe inspiring moments, nothing compares to the opportunity to soar on a hot air balloon over Kapadokya. The flight with Kapadokya Balloons was magical and beautiful. The amazing landscape of Kapadokya was uniquely captured by the balloon experience. The bold colored balloons were definitely photogenic, as were the rock formations below.
