Day Trip to Troy

This was amazing.  The city of Troy.  Who knows if Helen was real.  The horse was probably not real.  But Homer was almost certainly there, as his descriptions match the city and landscape perfectly.  The site is very interesting to see the different archaeological layers, the walls are 20 feet thick, and there are still Roman water pipes in their original position.  This was one of my favorite days.  It was also a very pretty journey.  We drove past miles of sunflower fields and crossed the very vivid blue Dardanelles Strait.  I learned more about Gallipoli this day from some Australian tourists and why it is so important to Australia.  In the future I would like to see Gallipoli also.
