Thursday September 16

Today we drove to Assos, Troas, Troy and Cannakale.

Assos is an anceient Greek city once the home to Plato
and Aristotle. The main feature remaining is a Temple to Athena that is currently under restoration.

Troy is much more developed, though an Austrian named
Schliemann who first discovered the site basically plundered it for anything of worth and then left with the spoils.









We did see the Trojan horse, though there's some doubt as to its authenticity.
