The Trojan Horseless Troy


Day Three in Turkey began with The Gallipoli Battlefield Memorial of a devastating battle in WWI. Then we took a ferri over to the other side of Turkey where we visited the ancient city of Troy. The teachers showed us the big Trojan horse that was at Troy before we came to Turkey and hyped it all up to be way cool...well we got to Troy and the super cool wooden horse was completely covered by a black tarp. That awkward moment when you go to Troy and there's no Trojan horse...so what do we do instead? We reenact strange signs we find, take pictures of a random turtle, and dig for sea shells in the dirt. Probably isn't what my teacher would like me to remember about Troy but the fact that the place had Turtles in sea shells is pretty satisfying to me! Our Hotel was right on the beach, it literally looked like paradise. I was sad we would only be there for a night. So we lived it up while we could and finished with a good hour of girl talk.

"Pretend like we saw something cool for this picture ok?"

A cool picture in Turkey...that's all.
