First things first - breakfast! Ah, the Mediterranean breakfast options are delicious and we did not suffer for lack of CHEESE and other tasty items.
Our theme today, in scripture and reflection was seeking freedom and justice (Philemon 10-16 if you want to read the actual passage). We had the opportunity to learn a lot about Turkey's early history, first with a visit to the Anatolian Civilisations Museum, where we saw art and items dating from 6500 - 700 BC. Hittite history is alive and well in these neolithic displays.
A bit of a ride on our tour bus took us over to the Mausoleum of ATATÜRK, providing us some perspective and insight to the history of the formation of modern Turkey - a country that fought for all 4 of their borders...freedom and justice were indeed discussed at length on many levels in both of these locations.
We of course have captured the day's festivities in glorious, living color, check them out now!
We the pilgrims have wrapped up our day and are resting up for a full day of exploring in Cappadocia. You will have to tune in tomorrow to see the amazing sights and sounds that we get to experience!
