| Ephesus |
 |
| The ruins at Ephesus were spectacular. I just could picture John, Mary, and Paul walking the streets here. |
 |
| The part of the group from my home church in Missouri. It was so great to hang out with these fun folks and many others from Texas and Florida. I was the only one from Mongolia though. |

 |
| The white buildings with blue roofs were so pretty on Santorini. |
 |
| Lots of donkeys that could take you up the hill from the water. |
 |
| These buildings cling to the hill. We had a seafood dinner overlooking the ocean and watching the sunset below. |

| Corinth |
 |
| This is the Bema where Paul was brought the Jews as they attacked him in Corinth |
 |
| You could see the Agean and the Adratic seas. |
