Tarsus

My first planned stop in Turkey was the city of Tarsus. I had just heard of Tarsus recently as the birthplace of St. Paul. The city has a really nicely preserved streach of Roman road and a couple of monuments to St. Paul, the most interesting of which is this well, said to be right next to where he was born and lived. You can pay to draw up some water from the well and splash it on your face. It's a small pilgrimage site for Christians. I think it's great that there is a mosque across the street.
