Day 9 Revisit Part 2 - Hierapolis

Day Nine Revisit Part 2 - Monday June 14th - Hierapolis

After seeing the ruins at Laodicea, we drove a short distance and had lunch at a buffet restaurant. Then we went a short distance away to Hierapolis. This is an area close to Laodicea with Greek and Roman ruins, travertine deposits, and hot pools of water.

Back on the bus and we drove for a while to get to the Kusadasi area. Pastor Wayne taught from Colossians, which is the letter to the church at Colossae, only a short distance from Laodicea.  
Col 1:3-8 Epaphras.
Col 2:8 you have to start with God's grace (unmerited favor of God)
Rom 3:23-25 Greek karis = graciousness.
Only by putting faith in Jesus, can you receive karis. 

We stayed overnight at the Hotel Aurora in Kusadai. Internet access was only in the lobby.

We join the cruise tomorrow. On the cruise, the internet is very slow and expensive. 0.25 Euro per minute, or 15 Euros per hour. No wireless is available. Most people will be staying off it, so you may not get updates as frequently.
