We visited Sultans Ceramic Store in Avenos. The store is underground with a passage leading to showroom filled with beautiful and expensive ceramics. We watched a potter make a Hittite Wine Jug. Joanne bargained restlessly with a salesman for one driving down the price but still making him very happy.

About two hundred underground cities have been found in Cappadocia that date back to the seventh century BC. Completely abandoned in 1923's population exchange, they were rediscovered in 1963. Richard elected, despite a sore hip, to go underground with our group four levels down through narrow passageways, crawling on hands and knees through one.
