GREECE AND TURKEY

I took an armchair trip yesterday. I went with Rick Steves to Greece and Turkey. I had always heard that Greece was beautiful, but seeing the pictures sure made me want to go all the more. The scenery is gorgeous and I was just longing to jump into the water!

Now, Turkey is a place I had never really given much thought to going to visit. But, after traveling there with Rick, I changed my mind. It is a beautiful country, too. They of course have ruins that are from Biblical times. I would love to someday visit all the countries where the Bible stories took place. On this trip to Turkey, Rick visited the city where Noah and the Ark landed. And he also went to the city where Abraham lived. That is so interesting to me.

He went to the mountains where some people still live in caves. They keep them warm in winter and cool in summer.

It was a fun day and best of all, I was home in time for dinner!
