Cats and ruins

... with beautiful minarets. Homer was born here. Our guide was a woman named Itek. Unfortunately for her, and us, she was nervous, must have been new at this, and she could barely speak English clearly. But she managed to give us lots of good info as we drove to Ephesus. Turkey is a huge agricultural producer for Europe. We saw peaches, cotton, olive, horse, sheep, corn, greenhouses, tobacco, pistachios, and apple trees. The land is extraordinary, hilly and ...

Kaleidoscopic Kusadasi

... He spoke all through the tour about the extensive history of the place with pride and passion.<br><br>The ruins are buried under layers of earth and this process whereby a thriving community gets lost over centuries by being interred is a mystery to us really. The quality of the stonework at Ephesus mirrored that we had seen in Greece and the expertise of the stone workers astonished us. Also the extent of the complex with its way down to what used to be the Aegean Sea until ...

Ancient Ephesus

... to Ephisus and took them from the ruins. Still, what has been rebuilt is incredible. I think it would have been very interesting to live in that town during its day.<br>After the carpet demonstration, where we learned that it takes 2 girls 2 years to make an 8x10 carpet, we headed back to the ship for some lunch and a rest. Then we left the ship again and headed to a nearby beach where we rented some beach chairs and hung out for a few hours.

... sunsets before we go down to get dressed for dinner. Today we are just going to sit at the pool as we steam towards Eygpt. Tomorrow will be our longest excursion to Cayro and then onto Giza. I included a photo for CC and Sidy to show them the boat that grammy and kookie are on. Miss all of you.We have heard from Rach and Doni, but no message from Liv, Joe and Keith are you guys a live? <br>Love to all<br>Davo and Janet<br>

... aussies from his hostel. we all met up for dinner, dining on pide (turkish pizza) and had some cans in the street near a mosque. let´s just say it weird on paper, although surprisingly lax in practice. selçuk is a small town of 27,000 people and it´s pretty quiet with no tourists. i´m looking forward to some nice peaceful relaxing days here before returning to istanbul.

... when they made it and how they made it, while we stood there almost drowning in the rain. My ability to listen was not as great as his ability to talk so when he wasn't looking I escaped the group so I could wander around and enjoy the site on my own. I went from building to building looking for shelter from the rain so I could take some pictures without wrecking my camera. The problem with Roman Ruins is that they have more columns than roofs; they are not ...

The Cruise ship

... As the harbor silted up, the city declined and later played an important part in the development of Christianity. Apostle Paul preached in Ephesus around 55 AD. It was said that 'after Death' Mary was brought to Turkey to live out the rest of her days under the care of St. John the Evangelist. Of course, you can't leave Turkey without sitting on top of a camel(?) or visiting a Persian rug shop. We did all of this in the morning....That ...

... roof on one side of the room and through a crack in the roof on the other side. Anyhow, none of my stuff got wet, so i was happy. I did make it to the Bodrum Museum of Underwater Archaeology, which is why i came here. It was actually pretty interesting as they have a cool display of the oldest shipwreck ever found. It shows how everything was scattered on the sea floor, and ...

... waiter used a dustbuster to clean my table. Living the dream. Chapter 4: I like to call them toots So, to the Top 5. I love getting hassled. By touts. It's like being in China again, except in Turkey, the fact that I'm chinese doesn't make me immune from touts. So they come at me from all angles (does it happen to everyone or is it just because I'm devilishly handsome), calling me Jackie Chan, trying to sell me such varieties of wonderful, exotic ...

Selcuk!

... little tidbit. It was REALLY hot! We're talking like 100 degrees Farenheit and hotter, maybe up to 105. We could feel it so intensely. The hotel employees warned us about going out. We just took lots of water and walked really slow. We also made it a point to stop in any shade that we could find and rest a little. The shade really made a difference, like in California. As we were walking, we noticed the town's men sitting at local cafes and playing a game. It seemed to be ...
