For Easter this year we took a day trip to the ancient city of Antioch. It's now called Antakya, you can see on the map how close it is to the Syrian border.It was a great trip full of amazing things to see. On the way we saw old Hittite ruins, thousands of years old. They are just part of the local landscape. It is one of the strange things about being here. You drive down the freeway and you see tall cement apartment buildings, mosques, Ford dealerships, and ruins of a Roman Colosseum.
Anyway, we stopped on the way at this old castle. All I know about it is that it was built in the B.C. It's just there and you can climb all over it. So we did.

That is the cool thing about old world places- old, old stuff right next to new stuff. America is considered so young and we really are! You have seen some amazing stuff!
