Turkish Delights...

We spent the two weeks travelling the Western and Central regions of Turkey - studying the ancient cities of the Roman empire, Byzantine ruins, some of the churches of Revelation, and some of Turkey's natural wonders.

Obviously, some excellent pictures were snapped.

Here's a taste of our trip from students' eyes:

Whitney Pierson showing off the facade of the library in Ephesus.

A gorgeous Laodecian sunset caught by Annelise Nystrom.

Some students (from left to right: Joe Bagdanov, Keaton Hudson, Whitney Pierson, Anna Botzong, Lauren White, Benjamin Bisson. Back Row: Peter Harmon [looking peculiarly like the cookie monster]) recover from a snowball fight in Central Turkey.

Ben Siverly explored a covered archway in Pergamum.

Cautiously, visitors walk on the calcium deposits in Pamukkale (photo: Ben Siverly).
