The Night Before

     As I sat down to eat the scrumptious Chinese food that was before me, I had a fleeting thought that this would be the last dinner I would consume before going abroad for three weeks. That's right folks, I will be heading to Turkey and Greece tomorrow for a trip of a lifetime.

     I will start of this adventure by flying into Istanbul (look at the above map for your convenience) and continue by bus, airplane, walking, running, hiking, jumping, and other forms of travel to traverse the land. The goal of this trip is to attain a better understanding of the biblical world by following in the footsteps of Paul and visiting the seven churches of Revelation. However, I will not give you a list of the sites I am visiting due to two facts:

1. You could be a stalker and my mom told me to never give out such information.
2. The suspense will keep you returning to my blog. (Insert evil laugh)

     I cracked open the fortune cookie to see my fortune for the night. The tiny slip of paper stated, "You will be traveling and coming into a fortune." Whether that is a fortune of wealth or simply knowledge, I can certainly say that I am ready.
