At the ruins of Ephesus we saw the Roman bath and the 'toilets', it is amazing they are still in this shape. Center top is the sculpture of Niki the Greek goddess of victory (yes, this is where Niki got their emblem for their shoes). You can also see the buriel tombs stacked on top of one another. We returned to the city of Kusadasi for a little shopping and met this young man using 'worry beads' so Dan got an explanation of what they are used for, basically "just something to do with your hands" is what he said. The Turkish rugs are so beautiful and the mosaic tiles and plates are fantastic. We met this young man who is in business with his parents and sister to make these plates and mosaics tiles. He is showing us 'his' tree of life and is pointing at his future wife in the picture. We are standing in his shop and as you can see it is filled with beautiful things. The plate in the center bottom is a painting of the famous "whirling durvish" and in the skirt is arabic writing.
In the bottom photo are shots Dan took when he walked up and around the huge amphi theatre and even went under it (Elton John held a concert here with 50,000 people). The main marbel paved road leads down to the Library and buriel monument of Celeus. The last photo is of Dan being a living statue inside the back wall of the Library! Owell, we do have our fun with history!
