Ephesus Dear Tom Ephesus was great. As you know, you could spend a week there.We only had a small group visiting the House of the Virgin Mary but there were a lot of pilgrims around. I did not include them in the photos. There wrere also quite a lot visiting the old city. With best wishes, John
Istanbul Dear Paul
It is good to hear from you. Yes, seeing these places is wonderful. I do have a lot more photos of course but these hopefully give you a taste. I am pleased all is going well with you.
With best wishes

Cappadocia Dear Tom
I thought of you as we were driving around Cappadocia. Perhaps you will get the chance to come back some time to see it all in more detail. Good luck with the Scope and Sequence work.
With best wishes

Dear John,
Some of the pictures look familiar. I hope all is going well and that you are enjoying yourself. Today we are having the Scope and Sequence meeting. I will let them know that you are enjoying visiting places connected to the early church.
All the best,
Tom.
memory lane I hope this comment gets through (I've never done this before). the Ampleforth photos bring me back 30 odd years, when Pat and I did a retreat together at Ampleforth and washed dishes in the Grange with the then abbot (not 'dean'), one Basil Hume. Go well, friend.
The Recreation Room Dear Chris
Thanks fo your message. Yes, I have managed to get through the Ampleforth experience and am now in Turkey. I hope all is well with you.
With best wishes
John
Welcome to my travel blog. I hope you enjoy sharing in the experience. I will be away from Australia for 6 weeks, returning to Melbourne on Sunday 30th November, 2008. I will be travelling to Central America first to prepare for our next Champagnat Pilgrimage in April 2010, then heading to Europe where I will be attending the third biennial Marist Higher Education Conference in Salamanca in Spain.... full info
