Floating over Cappadocia

The hot air balloon party that takes place every morning over Cappadocia - spectacular!

The hot air balloon party that takes place every morning over Cappadocia is one of the most gorgeous things I have ever seen! 

It was our first trip in a hot air balloon, which was wonderful birthday present from David.  I love anything and everything colorful, and our multicolored balloon was no exception.  David must have planned it that way! 

Looking up into our hot air balloon.  I couldn't have asked for a more colorful balloon!

The whole experience was nothing short of magical.  Stunning views, a birthday serenade (a couple of months after the day), and I even got to drive and operate the fire valve for a bit.  It was a day I will never forget!
