A DAY TO CATCH OUR BREATH

 

CRUISING THE BOSPHORUS

 

 

 

 

 

 

After a multitude of computer connection problems, it is too late to do much more than a few pictures.   A day that took our breath away was followed yesterday by a day to catch our breath. A cruise on the Bosphorus was just what we needed.  Denver folk will enjoy the orange and blue Bosphorus boat.  The day was perfect for slipping between the Asian side of Turkey and the European side.  Turkey is 97 percent Asian and 3 percent European.  It is a land of great diversity, rich heritage, fascinating customs, incredible geographic landscapes, a religion that we need to learn more about and the early beginnings of the Christian church.  We have much to learn from the early church communities.

I have high hopes that the problems are solved with our movement now to Cappadocia, but if you do not hear from me do now worry.  Today has been fantastic and hopefully I can share that with you soon.

Eight of us are going up in a hot air balloon tomorrow morning.  That will be a first for me. 

Henry Miller said, "One's destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things." Our destination was Turkey but the real gift has been all kinds of new ways of seeing things."
