What a way to finish up this wonderful spiritually upbuilding and encouraging trip. World Headquarters of Jehovah’s Witnesses. It was difficult to contain out emotions! Truly grateful to have been able to see it firsthand. https://www.instagram.com/p/B2sWecenNmj1RUKs4UxJFUpCa4_VtgKM6H4ti00/?igshid=nqsn14iuaz4d

Nice day in Antalya today. Got a personal tour of the old city and then had a wonderful summon in a restaurant overlooking the marina. Great way to end the day. https://www.instagram.com/p/B1RmQL8HHgbZAY2z6gKyksTsnNWXk2n7jJKplM0/?igshid=fxacxtj9mfol

Nice day in Istanbul. The Grand Bazaar was an assault on the senses. The spice market was pretty awesome too. https://www.instagram.com/p/B06R-44H-hANkF-u98IH0waYNhZqwX9IUKA-g00/?igshid=123u9s79r9v12

After Ephesus, we had lunch in Şırınce. A small Greek style village know for its fruit wines. The food was phenomenal! I spared you yet another food post. https://www.instagram.com/p/B0yzFinHn_kSKYi0vjmwq6hZmEXdH1KasgAuDM0/?igshid=1cqvwqf9efk8w

Toured ancient city of Ephesus today! Wow! These ancient cities built of marble must have been stunning. This one was obviously steeped in pagan worship. The temple of Artemis was full of pagan symbolism. See article “Where True Worship and Paganism Clashed”. (w04 12/15 pp 26-29). If you’re interested in reading that article DM me and I’ll send you a link. https://www.instagram.com/p/B0ydzBWHQXxKIxxj0Q-2h7zyGEIv-eSHPYcjXY0/?igshid=1bz4r2leld0x5

After meeting lunch. Met people@from ALL over. Japan, Thailand, China, Georgia (the country), Estonia and Latvia. Truly an “International Brotherhood”! I think this city might be growing on me. 🤔 “Out” of me might be more accurate. 😆 (at İzmir, Turkey) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0wMxB0ncW_tqLWQG1sc5KtTx8ObvqGp22BpDQ0/?igshid=eg3obphbc9ur

Awesome dinner again tonight. That bowl of yogurt soup tasted exactly like stuffed grape leaves (dolmas?)! 😋 I’ll be back for more of that! Then we watched the sunset on the Aegean. https://www.instagram.com/p/B0t5rSenpbxNHs_QKlc0xN4K3OGQkKRdEweuko0/?igshid=37zmxy5ovjvx

First meal in Turkey did NOT disappoint! The cheeses and olives are terrific. Store owner let us try them before buying and used a translator on his phone to help us converse. Super nice guy! Then he told us about his friend that just opened up a baklava store! 😍 And that guy let us sample some too! https://www.instagram.com/p/B0oKfznn6FpQBjW1LIcf5xoUy1dJa1_KzxkHfY0/?igshid=yfh7vt8vy7qt
