Well as most of you know, last week we spent 7 days in Turkey. Best spring break I've had yet I must say! There was so much that we did, and I could write a mile long post about it, then create a two mile long post full of pictures, but I'll just do a mile long post of pictures from the trip instead. Enjoy!

Welcome to Istanbul indeed!

The world's best Baklava!
Turkey sure loves Baklava. I think we ate it at almost every meal, and if not, at least once a day.
TROY!

The Grand Mosque
The washing area in the Grand Mosque. Muslims are required to be completely clean before participating in prayer so they wash their hands, face, ears, etc. right before prayer.
Reason number 27 why I am grateful to live in America. I have never once had to pay to use a restroom there.

Huge Column at the Temple of Sardis.
Me in the ancient Gymnasium where all the sporting events used to take place.
The infamous Brother (Doctor) Chapman
This is what they used to use for toilets. Women on one side, men on the other. No stalls, no separate bathrooms. Thank heavens for modern day plumbing!
Nicaea, where the council of atook place, which was a council made to create statements of belief, in an effort to define a unity of beliefs for all of Christianity.
