Where are the aliens with huge penises?

Cappadocia is a wondrous place with a landscape straight out of a sci-fi movie.  Alien-phobic peeps should avoid this place because it's hard to imagine that parts of the earth can look like this naturally.  Apparently the "fairy chimneys" are a result of volcanic eruptions combined with erosion and wind.

My mom, who used to be a geography teacher back in China, studied these magical formations and told me that in Chinese, the nickname for them is "boy parts."  Very large boy parts, if I may say so myself.

Many of the hotels in Cappadocia are cave hotels and you get rooms that were dug inside these fairy chimneys.  We stayed at the Spelunca Hotel.  It was neat and the rooms were cool, but their heaters didn't work very well and none of their staff really speaks English.  

Cappadocia is awesome sight to see and definitely worth a side trip if you ever visit Turkey.  Just to warn you, November is off-season for a reason; it's freezing.  It never went above 35 degrees the 2 days we were there and let me tell you, I put on EVERYTHING I brought in my suitcase and I was still doing a shiver dance.  The positive side is that there's nobody around, no lines, no crowds.  Nice and peaceful...and cold.
