Troy and the Trojan Horse

Day 2 - Rain, Rain, go away!!! It is cold and windy but we are off to see Troy. Jan getting out of the rain to view Troy from one of the two horses.
Some of the water pots and plumbing found in the ruins of Troy.
The nine levels of Troy. This has survived since 2500 BC and was built on top of with 9 civilizations. Here you can see how they have dug down through the different levels.
This modern computerized image shows the layering of the 9 civilizations built on top of each other .
2 horses are found in the area. One at the site of Troy as seen in the first slide, and the other in the middle of Canakkale (which was given to the city when Brad Pitt was finished with it.)
Much of Troy is still underground and many pits lead down under the ground, where a mother dog has had a litter of 8 pups. Here are 4 outside the den waiting for Mom.Another sign of spring.
