I think I'm almost done with all this picture posting, although I'll probably post a few more random pictures some time this week. This batch is from our day in Ephesus:
The port town of Kusadasi, where our ship docked...
One of the marble (what else??) streets of Ephesus...
Looking down the street toward the library...
The Temple of Hadrian...
The Library of Celsus...
Another shot of the library...
Looking up through the walls of the library to the blue sky...
A Tale of Two Tans... Cindy, on the left, with her nicely-bronzed arms and face, looks like someone who has been out in the Greek and Turkish sun for many days. Whereas I, on the right, look like someone who has been hiding indoors. The sad thing is, I actually HAVE a tan in this picture. But my "tan" seems to be everyone else's "dead of winter" shade. (Our taxi driver in Athens even made it a point to tell me he hoped I had plenty of sunscreen with me... he didn't express that concern to anyone ELSE...)
The public latrines... really, REALLY public... people would just sit right next to each other. And in the winter, rich men would have their slaves sit on the marble first, to warm it up...
The amphitheater, which is still in use today...
That's Cindy down there, testing the acoustics of the amphitheater with a song -- and even up in the higher rows, we could hear her. I even tested it myself by standing in the middle and asking Rick if he could hear me -- and he could. You know a theater has good acoustics if you can hear ME talking... :)
The theater from afar...
Me with the amphitheater in the background...
We were feeling hot and extremely thirsty on the way back to the ship, so we bought some water and "Uludag Limonata," which turned out to be a sickeningly sweet lemon drink. We ended up adding some of the water to it, which made it taste a little better... but not much. (However, as you can see, we were so thirsty we drank most of it anyway... :))

Love the photos Lisa! And can't wait to read more of your blog and get to know ya better.
Tale of two tans... Funny!
Thanks so much Barbie! :) Is that a parrot in the picture? I've always thought it would be nice to have a parrot, because they live so long. They're like life-long pets... :)
My tan is quickly fading. But it was funny how much different I looked than my passport by the time we were head home!
Yeah, my tan is fading, too... (I really did have one, I swear! :))
