Today was a very long day! We woke up at 6:00 AM. Then we all got on the bus and waited anxiously to visit the ancient city of Troy. On the way we stopped for lunch and drove the bus onto the ferry. By the way if you ever have to go to the bathroom on a ferry in Turkey don’t the toilette is a hole in the floor. Once we got off the ferry we slept all the way to Troy. Once we got off we looked at all the old foundations and climbed into a replica of the Trojan Horse. We got back on the bus drenched in sweat and listened to the exciting history of olive oil!!! Finally we got to our hotel ate dinner and went to the beach. We all dove off the pier. We did not realize that the people screaming at us in various languages were warning us of the sea urchins inches from our feet. Almost all of us walked away without a scratch but a few of the less fortunate spent the rest of the night pulling urchins out of their feet. But all is well. Everyone survived the attacks. :)

Troy.....
ReplyDeleteDid you see Orlando Bloom, Brad Pitt, or Eric Bana from the movie "Troy"...All of you look so happy. Were the urchins stuck in your feet like a minor bee sting. Since you are heading to Greece, Greece plays Nigeria, Thursday in a FIFA World Cup Match in South Africa. All of Greece will be watching; tremendous national pride. The world cup games are a live streaming video on ESPN 3.
Have fun!!!!!
