Truman's last year in Cub Scouts has been fun here in Turkey. The Pack is on the school year schedule so he has been in a bit longer than he would back home. It was great to finish it all off with a camp out in a tiny village in the Phrygian Highlands. The Highlands are beautiful and the geology is peppered with archaeological sites.

The neighbor brought some goats over for the kids to hold.

There was a wedding in the village while we were there.
When we were driving out to the camping spot we saw this big complex up on a hill and wondered what it was. Jack asked the owner of the camp and he said it was Seyit Battal Gazi Külliyesi. Jack got super excited because he references the place in his dissertation. So during the afternoon we drove over for a quick tour.

This man carves stuff from the local stone. We got a little box.
Back in the villiage we came across this water trough made from a petrified tree.
Truman crosses over and receives his Arrow of Light.
We had to leave the camp out early because Jack is now the branch clerk at church and he had to get back for meetings. Boo for meetings but it did force us to drive through the wedding so that was cool. For us, probably not for the people in the wedding.
On Memorial Day we met a couple of our LDS volunteers and they took us to all the cheap t-shirt shops they knew of.

It was a terrific weekend!
