Troy, Turkey


Our first stop of the day was in Troy, Turkey; the site and city of the great battle of Troy.  It was pretty cool, but there was not much to see.  It has not been preserved very well so there are a bunch of crumbling walls, and not much else.  We could not even see the famous horse because it was being restored.  It was still fun to see the land and to say that I have been to Troy.

The rest of the day was pretty much a blur because I spent it sleeping on the bus.  I did wake up for about an hour to visit a silk factory.  It was pretty interesting, but who has hundreds of dollars to fork out for a silk-woven rug?  We finally arrived at our hotel around 6:00p.m. just in time for a beautiful sunset.  Cappadocia is coming up soon and I am excited for it.  These travel days are starting to get old!
