Jill and Gulzar underneath the Trojan Horse.
Jill and I thought this was a fitting part of our visit to World Park since we were heading off to Turkey and Greece in just a few days and were incredibly excited.
A little aside here, we are in Greece at this moment, since I write these posts about 1-2 weeks in advance. I can’t tell you how Greece has been but Turkey was amazing beyond belief.
I plan to write the next 2 months of blog posts on our travel to Turkey and Greece once we return to Beijing since there is so much to see, do and write about in just two weeks of travel so far.
Trust me, if you ever get a chance to go to Turkey or Greece, do it.
In fact, do it now.
And that is coming from an Armenian.
Well, the Hagia Sofia in the World Park was a bit hilarious and a bit disappointing since Jill and I have both seen it in real life and it is utterly impressive and massively huge in all dimensions.
The good part of that is we were ready for the real thing and to be blown away, once again, by the awesomeness of the Hagia Sofia (by the way, we were blown away when we saw the real thing a few days later. The Hagia Sofia is mindblowingly huge and inspiring).
We walked on and noticed the Trojan Horse.
I have to really question the ability to get a whole army into this little horse and kill enough soldiers to win a war but we are in the World Park so we just took some pictures and laughed about it.
Last, but not least, was the Acropolis and took some pictures of the Parthenon.
Again, by the time you read this post, we will have seen it, in real life, and I’ll be posting about it in the near future.
Jill and I are very much looking forward to seeing the Acropolis and being able to take some pictures of it and see the history that is truly alive in this part of the world.
FYI, I write down what I’m going to write blogs on and, just from the first 2 weeks of this trip, I have over 50 different posts that will have to be done.
Therefore, I’m expecting to have over 100 blog posts when we are done with our whole month long trip to Turkey and Greece.
Trust me, it will be an amazing read and I welcome you to join us on our real journey!
ps. I want to give a shout out to my cousin, Alexis Averbuck, who is the writer for the Lonely Planet: Greece edition. She gave us a lot of great information and advice on what to do and where to go. Thanks cuz!
