Turkish Carpet Factory Tour-Cappadocia, Turkey
The quality of Turkish carpets is known throughout the world. We were fortunate to have a behind-the-scenes tour of a Turkish carpet factory (Gallery Cappadocia) and saw the silkworm cocoons that begin the process, the hand weaving and stitching, and the final product. Of course, I bought a small carpet while I was there-they even give you a Certificate of Authenticity.

Grand Bazaar Istanbul // The Famous Carpet Man (and FOOD!)
Visiting the Grand Bazaar Istanbul was one of the funniest experiences of my trip. I thought I would get annoyed at everyone trying to get you to buy things, but meeting the famous Carpet Man (who has met George Clooney, Trump and loads of famous people from around the world!) was awesome and he showed us the gold market inside of the market, his carpet shop and gave us tips on where to go in the Grand Bazaar istanbul.
