We have had many adventures since the last time I posted. We have spent the last couple of days discovering the roads that Paul walked and the ancient walls of Troy
. We have taken a gondola up to the acropolis of Pergamon and a ferry across the Strait of Darnell. It has been an eventful couple of days. The first picture is a picture of our whole group at the amphitheater in Assos and the second picture has me, Pam May, Connie Edwards, and Isa demonstrating how Roman soldiers walked along the road from Troas to Assos. Isa was trying to teach us how to hold our spears and shields! We don't make for very intimidating soldiers! The places we have seen have been incredible. Turkey has exceeded my expectations in many ways! We have one more day in Turkey and then we leave for Greece. Today we go to Ephesus!I hope to post again tonight to share more about our experience. I hope everyone in the states is doing well! Happy Birthday to my Nanny who just turned 85! Love you Nanny!
On my way to find more Roman roads...
your friend,
