  Mysia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The chief physical features of Mysia are the two mountains—Mount Olympus at (7600 feet) in the north and Mount Temnus in the south, which for some distance separates Mysia from Lydia and is afterwards prolonged through Mysia to the neighbourhood of the Gulf of Adramyttium.
The major rivers in the northern part of the province are the Macestus and its tributary, the Rhyndacus, both of which rise in Phrygia, and, after diverging widely through Mysia, unite their waters below the lake of Apollonia about 15 miles from the Propontis.
The whole sea-coast was studded with Greek towns, several of which were places of considerable importance; thus the northern portion included Parium, Lampsacus and Abydos, and the southern Assus, Adramyttium.

 Slow Boat from Adramyttium
The journey from Ceasarea on a boat from Adramyttium in the Book of Acts is tumultuous and metaphoric for my journey of faith.
Theology, misgivings, paeans to the hope of the Christian road walked and rants against the rages of misfortune and injustice will all be part of my little addition to the great experiment of everyone's lives being an open book on the Internet.
