Ephesus - truly impressive
... we had resorted to offering the place as a rather ancient but very cool play ground, which seemed somewhat sacrilegious but did allow Katherine and I a little extra time to appreciate the enormity and grandeur of Ephesus. As we jumped into the air conditioned and rather dented family bus we had survived almost 2 hours in the heat, which is testimony to how good the place is, especially as we only managed 4 hours in a similarly hot Disney Land.

A one day side trip
I'm ever operating a little behind as the days are filled with fun adventures. On Sunday we took a one day excursion to Epheus, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephesus) an ancient Roman City that is fairly well preserved, all things considered. Much of the statues, sarcophagi, art, etc are in the Ephesus museum, but many of the structures remain at the site. The city was a port city and eventually grew to an estimated 250,000 people. It was not the villa ...

Can I Buy a Vowel: Ephesus/Aphrodisias/Hierapolis
... picture of the fabled Celsus Library with no one in front of it. Anyway, I entered the south gate, rented a set of headphones (the tour was helpful, but the over the ear headphones were a pain in the ass) and set off. Ephesus, in case you are not familiar, is considered to be the best preserved city in the eastern Mediterranean (and excavation continues). Ephesus was a great Roman trading city sitting on the Aegean and was at one time the capital of Asia Minor. The city ...
