We rolled on to the streets at 8:45 am, and as we travelled to our next archaeological sites, we listened to lectures on Greek & Turkish relationships (working through the highly controversial topics about the Armenian tragedy, the Kurds, and tension in Cyprus.)

In our excursions, we saw the following places:

1.  The Temple of Apollo (the third largest in the world) at Didyma.  We talked from John 2 about how our temple is Jesus Christ.  He is the new way to God.  He is the place where we meet God.

2.  The ruins of Miletus and the Lions Harbor where Paul gave his farewell address to the Ephesian elders.

3.  The place where once stood one of the ancient seven wonders of the world . . . the temple of Artemis (Diana).  Remember she was the goddess – polymastes (many breasted).  This place has now been reduced to a pile of rocks in a sunken pit.  A storks nest is built on the highest column.

Tonight, we rested at the Charisma Hotel.  Kristie and I watched the sun set over the Aegean Sea.
