Turkey or Cat- man-du??? (this name was dad's idea)

 hey everyone this is Clarissa (the previous posts were made by dad). By the way Turkey was AWESOME! I love the culture there and the food! the apple tea is delicious and the people are so friendly even when they are not trying to sell you something... =] 

ok, one thing to  know about Turkey, there are cats... EVERYWHERE! its crazy (as you will see at the end  of this post) they are really all over the place, just stray cats, so i decided to get pictures of them throughout our trip. so this post is completely dedicated to the cats all over Turkey (with some extra info on the side). =]

Exhibit A: (above) a cat crawling over the ruins of ancient Ephesus.

This is one cat we saw in Cappadocia. This is actually in the underground city. 

(did you know that part of star wars was actually filmed in Cappadocia, i wanted to go see the actual place it was filmed but we didn't have enough time =[  The part that was filmed there was the pd racing scene in the first movie and throughout Cappadocia you could really see where their inspiration for the planet tatooine came from)

Even though you can't really tell this cat is sitting in the Hagia Sophia (a beautiful mosque in Istanbul).

 
    this was the last and probably weirdest of our cat experiences... this guy was just walking around the turkish market place like this... with the cat sitting calmly on his head the whole time!  I just had to get a picture of it! (dad says its the cat in the hat) =]
