Lapseki

Reported by Devashishu Torpy 1.0 km

These young football players were at the Municipality building in Lapseki to greet us

The Mayor offered us a very warm welcome

Tea time

The Mayor spoke so eloquently quoting form Ataturk who had said that if Turkey was to have peace with other countries it needed peace within the country. These profound words capture the essence of the Peace Run, which underlines the importance of Peace within if we expect to have Peace without

These students did very well at the country guessing game, aided by a few football references

They ran with us to the ferry boat to wish us a final farewell and bring our wonderful adventure in the Çanakkale Province to an end. Thank you Turkey for giving us an experience that we will forever treasure
