Trip to Turkey: Day 4--Bus day!

The majority of the day was on the bus, but there were a few stops we made.

A random outlook from the bus with Lindsay.

1. Assos--we went up to the temple mount.  I don't entirely remember the significance of the place but it is in the Bible.  It is a spot that Paul stopped at during his third missionary journey.  Read Acts 20:13-14.  My favorite part was walking back through the shops.  The Turkish women were working at them.  It was so great to see women working.  It was so great to see women.  It made me super happy. 

With Lindsay, Danielle, and Lauren in Assos.

It was beautiful!

2. Pergamon. We took a cable car up the mount to see one of the seven churches that it talks about in Revelations 1:11. What I remember from this place is the pouring rain. We were soaked! Luckily, since wearing a skirt on a long bus isn't super comfortable I had my PJ's on under the skirt. It was super great during the rain and wind.

By the look on the faces you can tell that everyone was really happy about the rain.

 

Other interesting parts of the trip. 1. Talking to Kaitlyn Hull. She knows Danielle Gardner. It was great to get to know her better. She is AMAZING! 2. The tire of the bus blew out. We stopped for a bit but then we have two tires on each spot so we just kept going. 3. We had a bus talent show which was pretty entertaining. 4. Sketchy hotel. Technically a three star but the sliding door on the porch didn't lock--it was high enough though so it wasn't too bad. Luckily I was safe.
