8/13/2013 - Lake Tuz, Turkey
From Istanbul, we flew to Ankara. We visited the mausoleum of Ataturk, which includes a museum on 20th century Turkey history. After that, we visited a museum containing pieces from all the historic civilizations on Turkey's land mass (Anatolia).
We drove from Ankara to Cappadocia, which is close to the center of Turkey. Along the way, we stopped at Turkey's great salt lake. Like the Dead Sea, it is thick with minerals. We could walk across it. The whole day was interesting, but the sea was a nice surprise. None of us had heard of it before we stopped. One of us said it looked "like heaven, everything white, with people just black dots far away."
