We spent some time in Boğazköy, the modern-day village of Hittusas where the ancient Hittite ruins lie. We stayed at this wonderfully cozy hotel.

I spent some time wandering through the village, which consists of just one street of shops and some homes scattered around the countryside. I saw many wonderful people. Even though there is a language barrier, I feel like we were able to understand each other and connect. We are all people and we have more in common than it seems; the struggles, smiles, emotions, etc.

Here are some of the wonderful people I saw.
