Ephesus lookit all the ephesians


































Here is another day, its mostly Ephesus and St. John's ancient church. First is kyle in front of our fruity ship. Then St John's, its not as nice as it used to be a long time ago, his grave is under those 4 pillars in a square, theres a little plaque you can kinda see in the pic. I haven't quite figures out the formatting of this thing yet but i think you can figure out the difference between ancient Ephesus and a Turkish carpet store. They are honest in Turkey that there watches are fake, Mexicans could learn a thing or two. I guess Turkish carpets are big deal, they showed us why, something to do with double knotting it and like if it is made of silk is a big deal too. The big amphitheater is where paul spoke to the Ephesians, it seats 20,000 people. Then there is kyle pooping in one of the old toilets as a child watches on in fear. I guess the toilets would get real cold because they are marble so the slaves would sit down on them before hand to warm em up. Also the toilets were a major social place and there would be bands in the middle of the room playing music while everyone pooped and talked about politics. Some more ruins then its the Leducs and me in front of mother Mary's supposed last house. I guess a nun had a vision that it was there and so the church excavated the site and found this place. Seems a little crazy to me but whatever I'm not catholic. Also at all these touristy landmarks there are guards with mp5s or ak47s, they sure love their landmarks, they don't allow tripods either. Then more pics of Ephesus, the big building that I have a couple angles of is the Ancient Library, its famous I guess, thats the only thing I've seen from Ephesus before and its the most intact structure there even though its just the facade left and there are no books inside. Thats all for now, I know noone reads this but I will be updating the next day which is Athens pretty soon. Ephesus I am showing 33 pictures of the 267 i took that day.
