Ancient Ephesus
(Steve) Turkey was an interesting place. Friendly but quite pushy, the merchants literally stood in the street and tried to herd us into their stores, acting as if you were rude for not looking at their wares. We had pre-booked an ...
Another day in Kusadasi

Urns
May 06 - Kusadasi, Turkey I woke up at dawn with rolling waves out the pothole. Next time I woke up, there were buildings out the porthole and we were parked. How did that happen? When I woke up, I could not have guessed what was in store for me. Scuba ...
