Tonight this twenty-year old is blogging from Greece. Yesterday the group spent the entire day traveling from Turkey to Greece. Sadly, I must state that so far Turkey has been better then Greece, but the full comparison will have to wait.
I wanted to blog about my favorite sites I visited so I split them up into two categories, Legend and Reality.
Legend
Troy - Although an actual city and an actual battle, Troy VI is steeped in myth.

| The Trojan horse - rebuilt |
 |
| Alex with the Trojan horse used in the movie Troy |
Mt. Olympus Greece, from Greek mythology
 |
| Mt. Olympus |
Reality
 |
| Inscription of Emperor Trajan |
 |
| Exploring some ancient buildings |
 |
| At a Turkish carpet factory - confused as always |
 |
| The Aegean Sea with the setting sun |
 |
| Hellenistic walls at Sardis |
 |
| "Thinking" like Aristotle at Assos (He lived here for 5 years) |
 |
| Agora at Philippi and the Roman Road |
I apologize for those waiting on my blog, Greek Internet is actually more sketch than Turkish Internet, so hopefully I will be able to blog in two more days. Enjoy the cold while I bask in the 60 degree weather next to the Aegean Sea!
