A long, early morning drive through the Turkish Lake Region to Antioch, the Fort Hood of Pisidia and the Roman Legions. Founded in the third century BC by the Seleucids (successors to Alexander the Great, this area became a huge military complex, retirement center, and ceremonial location.
There were many carvings of logos and images of the Roman Legion. 
The Augustinian Gate. At this complex, RVL gave a stirring lesson that transformed Jesus' trial and execution into a triumphal entry. 
RVL likes to say that interruption is God's curriculum. A short time after this piture it began raining hard. Combined with the cold wind, it was more than we thought prudent, and we headed back to the hotel for a lecture on Mithraism and the greatness of our God. Sorry for the lack of pix - I don't have a waterproof camera!
Grace and Peace

thanks Karl for your words and the attempt at (some great) pictures from the day. Stay dry and warm.
Hi Karl - if it's convenient, could you ask RVL a question for me. It's just a curiosity question that David or Scott couldn't answer. When RVL came to San Antonio, he mentioned 3 schools of learning. Beth Sefer, Beth Midrash and Beth Talmud in that order. Beth Talmud meaning place of interpretation. In the book he recommended we read before he visited, Our Father Abraham, Beth Midrash comes after Beth Talmud. Some other internet sources say the same. So my question is can both be right or is Beth Talmud after Beth Midrash?
Thanks Karl.
