Here's a tree covered with the blue-and-white "eye" disks made of glass that we think are good luck symbols. We saw several of these but we didn't know if they were just a marketing ploy or had some other significance. (Ken forgot to learn Turkish and, unlike the Greeks, most do not know English except for the most rudimentary commercial phrases.)
The balloon industry is also wildly popular here. The locals told us they cost 140 Euros per person and the baskets hold 25 people. Based on the number of balloons we saw in the morning sky (that's when the winds are quietest), this is an incredibly lucrative industry--which attracts lots of people who probably shouldn't be running a high-risk venture.
