Dancing in the footsteps of Paul and Barnabas

Dancing.

If you have ever seen me try to dance before it is not pretty.

To put it in perspective, I cannot dance. However, the dancing dervish can. Yesterday the group visited the Mevlana Museum which holds Mevlana, a Sufist who combined mysticism and music and created the order of the dancing dervish.

We later that day traveled to Pisidian Antioch (read Acts 13 for some background). Below is a picture of shops that were located on the main road of Antioch.

Staying the night in Antalya, today the group went to Aspendos and Perge, two preserved sites in the Roman ancient world. (Paul and Barnabas also traveled through Perge)

It blows my mind to see such sites still standing today and to think about the fact that I walked on the same roads (literally the same stones) that Paul and Barnabas walked on. It makes the Biblical text come to life.

Sorry for such a short post, after experiencing an authentic Turkish bath today (and by authentic I mean it in the "nobody spoke English and me and the other guys had no idea what we were doing) type of authentic, I am rather tired and might go to bed early.

I will be posting again in two more days, bye for now.
