Pale and with blood shot eyes, a group of mysterious women set their foot on Louisiana ground for the first time. Shipped from France, they were the promised girls for the colonial men to be their wives. Who were the Casket Girls? Just innocent women far away from home, or blood thirsty vampires?

   Beşparmak Dağları ya da antik ismiyle Latmos eteklerinde puslu ama güneşli bir gün... Keşişlerin odasından Bafa Gölü huzurlarınızda... Göl çevresinde başta Herakleia olmak üzere pek çok Antik kalıntılar - özellikle manastırlar-, figürler bulunmaktadır. Dağ eteklerinde bulunan, Yediler Manastırı günümüzde korunmadan, yani doğal olarak ayakta kalabilen nadir yapılardan... Antik dönemde Yukarı Mısır'dan - Sina Yarımadası-  göç eden keşişlerin mabedidir. Kayalarla çevrili küçük odaları görüyorsunuz. Son olarak İsa'nın yaşam süreci betimleyen figürler bulunmaktadır... Enfes kayaları, dağ yamaçları ve toprak yapısına sahip doğa kesidi...

I was walking with an empty stomach, almost falling on the wet slippery road that was going downhill but then my senses caught the aroma of steaming Momos and I stopped as if I hit a brick wall. As I began to place my order, my senses again distracted me when I saw this colorful monastery standing so tall in front of me. I could hear the chantings and feel the positive vibes of the mantras mixing in the moist breeze of the mountains and I totally forgot my hunger. Almost always, beauty overrides hunger.
