Turkish Baths

It's way to hard to keep up! Everything is moving so fast.
I am currently on my way to a region in the middle of the country called Capadocia (pronounced Kapa-doe-kia) known for its naturally formed fairy chimeys and small dwellings carved into the rocks. Unfortunately, I'm on a night bus and can't freakin sleep.
The Turish Baths were amazing! It was initially shocking... you cannot be a shy person. I walked into this large, dome room (very traditionally Turkish looking) and there were naked people everywhere (luckily only women). But everyone was just walking around naked, sitting around fountains built in the walls, pouring tubs of water over them. There was a large round marble slab in the middle of the room that was heated and you just on top of it... very nice. There were women giving massages... and they were naked too. It took a minute to get used to, but once I did, it was all very nice and open and free and without judgement.
