We watched the sunrise in Athens & the sunset in Rome- what a day! Then we walked though the Colosseum, the Forum & Palatine Hill. In the words of Judges 8:4, we’re “weary, yet pursuing.” We’re looking forward to a good night’s sleep before we visit Pompey tomorrow-...

Today began with the 5 am wake-up call of the local rooster in Pamukkale, Turkey. It took a few good crows before I decided to open my eyes and then it seemed that each passing crow became more frenetic as if threatening not to stop until I put my feet on the floor. Then came the morning call...

Brooke Say: We then stopped at Colossae. After a brief, but steep walk, we ended up on top of a plateau that now covers the ancient city of Colassae. The city is still yet to be excavated. While we couldn’t see the ruins, we do know that the area received two of Paul’s...
