Ready, Set, Go! Underground Cities

---

Hello Everyone! I am reviving my blog after my stint in India. I had pretty much given up. But lets try this again.

Yesterday Mark Soileau left our group to return to Ankara. He is an American Professor married to a Kurdish woman and teaches at a university in Marden, which is on the border of Syria. He is an ordained Bektashi Alevi Baba (maybe I will explain this later) and he taught us about Haji Bektashi (a person, city, and faith) and about the Alevi. He returned to Ankara yesterday to do a ceremony with his disciple. Thus, Mark left and Wendy Wiseman came. Yesterday she gave a three hour lecture on ancient Christianity. It was AMAZING! I have learned a lot. Today she is taking us to different site visits. You know ancient 10th Century cathedral and underground cities where Christians hid from the Romans and the Arabs. I will post pictures of my adventures later.

Here are a couple pictures on Cappadocia!
