Arrival in Antalya

After 22 hours in transit, Tyler and I arrived in Antalya, Turkey last night. I cannot remember an easier passage into a foreign country. We bought our Visas for $20 in the Istanbul airport and as we passed through Passport control, the border officer hardly even looked at us!

We know little about this place, except that at first appearance Antalya is a beautiful city. This morning I sat on the balcony outside our room. From the balcony you can see the Mediterranean Sea and the Taurus mountains behind it. Most places we go, we go for ourselves, to see the beauty, to climb the mountains, to get an education, but Tyler and I have come here for God. All we know about Antalya is that God longs for the hearts of the people here. God is the king of this city.
