Border crossings were very good getting here (unlike on our trip to the Ukraine on Saturday). Turkey is a really picturesque country, and we've taken lots of pictures of it for our own. Crossing the Dardanelles by ferry boat, we both entered our third continent, Asia.

Today we saw Troas, came here in the evening hours, will see Ephesus and Miletus tomorow, and will work our way back north, with a jog to the east for Colosse, Laodicea, and Hierapolis, and then see Pergamum and Assos farther north. Looks like the cities of Galatia will have to wait.

We got up at 4:45 this morning, so we need sleep (actually Nathan already is), so this is going to be brief! Bye for now.

Glad you made it safely to Turkey. Yeah, Turkey is awesome and so are the Turks. Can't wait to see pictures! ~Aaron
I've always wanted to go to some lands of the Bible. I can enjoy it vicariously, I guess. So glad you guys are getting to do this! It looks beautiful!
Your travels sound so wonderful! The pictures will be great to see, but I rather wish I was there on the ground!

How appropriate that you are visiting Turkey before you come home for Thanksgiving! ;) It must be amazing to be in those cities where the first churches were established...wow!
We're "home" safe in Chisinau, having arrived about 4:30 this afternoon (Sat). Had a great week in Turkey, will post more this evening.
