An old pile of rock, marble and history!
















The magic of Ephesus, Turkey. When Margaret was at Shuswap she told us to take an excursion to Ephesus so we did. What a lovely day! Ephesus was an abandoned port city 1500 years ago due to disease. It lies underneath a mountain of rock, dirt and growth. Below are some of the restoration pictures. There are blue plastic boxes full of small rocks, marble pieces etc. which are recovered and then put back together. A couple of the houses under excavation were covered with a roof to protect them from elements and you could walk through them on constructed plastic walkways.

Greg's favorite shop sold the fake watches. Silk scarves were four times the price of those we could buy in London.
