Today we traveled into the city of Durres (we had been staying just to the South), enjoyed a wonderful lunch in a seaside restaurant and then walked to see an ancient amphitheater. This was truly amazing! Built in the early 2nd century it is believed that Titus was killed here. We explored this ancient ruin and stood in awe of the history that we were able to glimpse. One of the highlights was seeing an actual lions den, where they would have kept the lions in between the sport of sending them out to kill the Christians. Our kids were able to really picture what it would have been like for Daniel in the Lion's Den, being let down from a little hole in the ceiling into a black cavern.... there is nothing like having the Bible come to life! And we came away with not only deeper insight but a greater passion for the history of our church and the passion of believers to follow God despite the cost!
