This week Mihai and his family visit Cappadocia in central Turkey.  With an ideal climate and sprawling landscapes, this is one of the world's most popular places for hot air ballooning.

Cappadocia is home to Turkey's "fairy chimneys", pointed rocks formed from volcanic ash that rained across the region millions of years ago.  Today, many consider these rocks good luck with some measuring over 130 feet tall!

After the balloon ride they were off to visit friends and scout for tomorrow's adventure!
