Hot Springs of Pamukkale

9/27/11

**sorry for the delay...no internet!**

Today we started the day off early and were out of our hotel bye 7:15.  Our first stop was an ancient city called Antioch (Acts 13).  It's starting to get very interesting to be able to put names with faces so to say.  Antioch was our first sign of true ruins and it was very fun to start seeing those.

Our next destination was Colossae which was a tel...also known as a large mound of dirt.  Hopefully one day they will begin uncovering all the ruins.

Our final destination was the beautiful Pamukkale.  It was a natural hot spring ( calcium bicarbonate).  There were also beautiful ruins there.  I had to run all over the site to try and catch a glimpse of all it had to offer before we had to head out.  We were there right at sunset so we had beautiful light around he ruins.

After it was time to leave we headed to our amazing hotel and all hurried to eat so we could get in the pool which was water from the hot spring.  43 young adults in the pool makes for a fun fun time...at least for us anyways!
