Part 6

Last day of touring then it's trapped in a plane for days (or so it seems)

Docking at Kusiwasi, Turkey

Ephesus - my favorite by far!! It's the third largest city of unburied ruins in the world! Turkey is clean, proud of the history and very open to tourism. Lots of Russians come now and use the resorts along the Aegean Sea! We had a great guide here, full time Archaeologist, part time tour guide, you could tell he was proud and we learned lots here!

The Library, two story marble beautiful!! Pics don't do it justice!!
a building on the main street up the hill from the library. Check out the carvings!! Amazing!!
The main street looking up hill!!
All in all a great trip! Highly recommend it, like our group of people better in Israel, and liked Israel a little better. Greece needs to work on the culture - when it's old, take it to a recycle area, don't let it rust in the yard, street, field!! Trash belongs in trash cans not on the streets or in the fields. Take pride, you have a beautiful country!! Not to mention the graffiti everywhere, outlaw spray paint!!
Still another trip of a lifetime!! Lucky me, thanks Ken!!
