I've seen this, also. That trip I took while at Furman introduced me to a lot of the things we're reading about. It was a gift that I am still discovering how valuable it was. It was a class on Ancient History and The Missionary Journeys of Paul. We stated in Turkey, traveled to Greece, Italy, Switzerland, France (spend about 4-5 days in the Louvre) and England (spent another 4-5 days in the British Museum).

The Hagia Sophia is indeed a magnificent structure and it is again amazing to me how it has withstood wind, weather and war.

Well, I was watching t.v. today and saw that an old church in Chicago caught on fire yesterday. And this reading reminded me about that. But anyways the Hagia Sophia looks like an amazing structure that I would also love to see in person. I love the style of old churches and buildings they look so much cooler than the new styles I think.

P.S. I wont be posting until Monday, we are leaving tomorrow and coach wont let us take our computers on our road trips. I Don's really know why, but he is crazy!

I must say Turkey is a place I'd like to visit. From the Bible towns to all the different culture stuff it would be interesting. Scary but interesting. I always picture the Turks as wild and crazy.
