Jen and Dave: Adventuring

We woke today to the Turkish port of Kuşadası. A busy place bustling with vendors and shops, we boarded an excursion bus for the ancient city of Ephesus. This well-preserved wonder of the ancient world adds to our “7 Wonders” collection.

Ephesus was an Ancient Greek city, and full of interesting hints at life. Particularly impressive were the Terrace Houses, well-preserved homes of the aristocracy, including painted walls and gorgeous mosaic floors.

The Cesius Library was reconstructed but impressive, the Agora vast, and the Arena overwhelming.

After returning to Kuşadası we ran the gauntlet of vendors and shops to get back on board for a light lunch. Poolside sitting, packing, and a dinner in Cannelotta completed the day.
