Jill, our group, and I were ready for a nice lunch when we arrived at Belisirma Vilage in the Ihlara Valley.
As we got close to it, we heard people talking and saw a bunch of geese in the cool river.
We had no idea what to expect but we noticed the cute little water gazbebos all along the river and hoped we would be able to sit in one.
We were guided to one and crossed the little bridge and took our seats.
The waiter came over, took our orders and gave us some drinks to cool our bodies.
It all tasted great and it was wonderful to sit above the water and just hear the sounds of peace and tranquility.
There was also a very cute puppy that came around and wanted to hang out with us.
However, he was afraid of crossing the little bridge so he just sat beside it and wagged his tail, looked at us, and then scampered off to eat food that others fed him from the tables on the other side.
Our guide left to sit with the other guides and talk to friends, while we ate, and we and our friends from Colombia had a nice conversation about life.
All in all, a wonderful way to end our tour of the Ihlara Valley.
