On December 6th the Rumi Forum began its December 2007 Intercultural Trip to Turkey. The cities that were visited on the trip were Istanbul, Izmir, Konya, Kayseri and Cappadocia. The group visited many sites in each of these cities among them Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia, Ephesus, Virgin Mary’s house, Cappadocia museums and much more. While in Konya the group experienced the spectacular event of the Seb-I Aruz in which the Whirling Dervishes performed.
Participants of the trip also experienced first hand Turkish culture in the homes of Turkish families and the many delights of fine Turkish cuisine. The Rumi Forum would like to thank all of the participants of the trip for a wonderful experience!
