When we arrived the
village at 09:00 am, the students were waiting for us with their wonderful
work of arts. The all proudly showed how every mosaic piece was completed.
Their teachers were very proud and the students looked very happy.
On the bus we were told that they had a big shish kebab party in the evening and every one had a good evening. We had one of the teachers accompany us to the 2-year college of Torbali, We found out that the faculty had marble, ceramics, geophysics and drilling departments.
Ahmet Hoca met us at the gate of the school and gave us a tour of the workshops of the school. We were all very impressed with how well equipped their school was. There were only 200 students and they were all very positive about finding a job as soon as they graduate.

The professors were young and could speak English. Few students decided to have an hour of chiseling class and off they went to the art studio to see how chiseling a marble is different from making designs on Copper.
At noon we met at the cafeteria and had lunch that the students served, We had soup, pasta chicken and vegetable.
We finally thanked Ahmet Hoca . we have been with him for 2 days and he has been wonderful.
Our next stop was Ephesus
