Well, we’ve been awful about keeping up with our blog, but when we get internet time, we tend to email folks.
We’ve been in Turkey for about 3 weeks now, and just love it. This is a truly beautiful country, and this is where it all began. It has more Roman history than Italy, more Bible history than the Holy Land, and more Greek history than the Greeks. The Silk Road ran through here, and the Crusades went through here too. It is the home of the great Byzantine Empire, as well as the Ottoman Empire. You can still see sheepherders shepherding their sheep, and women cutting hay in the fields, by hand. The food–ah. The food is too good for our own good. There is a road where you can walk in the footsteps of St. Paul, and Ephesus of Ephesians fame from the Bible is here. In short, this is the most romantic place I have ever been.
