Turkey. How interesting that the pagan Temple of Artemis
yielded stones for the Christian Temple of St John which later yielded stones
for the mosque.
The Temple of St John has a lot to see. More than
any site so far, it looks like it is under construction...a bit like a Roman
lumberyard.
Then we saw the ruins of Ephesus, an active
archeological site. Ephesus is quite impressive. The lunch within the ruins was
memorable, not so much for the local wine as for the local food.
After lunch, we went to see the rug making
demonstration, after which we got the Turkish hard-sell. It did provide a
chance to sample Raki in Turkey. We resisted the hard-sell and returned to the
ship.
