Hotel Burak Altinkum

... familiar to me, I find I need assistance more and am remarkably getting it!

So, for a little blip on the map overshadowed by the larger center Izmir, I think we did quite well for a few days. And for being sick, nothing beats warm blankets, hot shower and toilet nearby. Hopefully we'll be able to set out tomorrow, although it may be by bus. Nice weather on the days we're sick, and now it's raining when we feel better. Of course!

... the dog to bark enough to alert someone inside. Turns out there are no coastal roads and we’ll have to backtrack to Cesme and try to find an old road that shadows the bike-banning highway.

But that something that can be worried about tomorrow. Now we’re being led through a property to have tea while listening to booming Turkish music and watching the sun glint off the waves.

... riot police were near us. (Really, riot police were there, with helmets, batons and big shields. I didn't think our reputation was all that bad!) The Turkish crowd seemed filled with a lot of young lads, female footballers and fans. They penned us in very quickly, with a group of what sounded and looked like big supporters of the game behind us, and a group of young lads who wanted to talk to us and share their sunflower seeds with us - they were very giggly throughout the first half. It ...

... a very spiritual place--which we learn is quickly fading. A picture of this painting has existed in our home all my life--I appreciate it more so now than ever before. Overall, I am very thankful for this opportunity to see the holy land of the ancient people of this continent, their sacred sites (land and water) their spiritual food, their history, which dates back to before Christ is well worth protecting and should be treasured by all people.

... Ephesus. [Revelation 2:1-7] I see some of the ruins of the Ephesus city walls on the hills as we near the city. Most ancients would have probably approached Ephesus from the west, from the sea. But we are entering the city from the southeast. Two cats are on the red-tiled roof of the building as we walk by the Magnesia Gate and the ticket kiosk.

... spoken with this man, Nazmi, and he spoke excellent English, and had shared with us details of his 3-month trip to America in 2000. Anyhow, long story short, we bought a very nice, big carpet that will be arriving at our parents' house in 2-3 weeks. The debate is whether to unveil it now when Fluffer has been pooping everywhere. We think we'll wait. WE'll save carpet details for later. We signed up for a guided tour of Ephesus tomorrow, then we leave ...
