Back to Kusadasi

When we completed our walking tour we were given some time to waltz through a promenade full of souvenir and Turkish trinket shops. We of course could not resist. We spotted a new bell for the collection. They were asking 10 Euros for it. Gail wouldn't pay more than 5. The shopkeeper came down to 7 but Gail wouldn't budge. I said we'd pay 7 if they'd throw in a red fez (hat) for me. The deal was done. Back on the bus we passed through acres and acres of lush agricultural land where the river and harbor of Ephesus once stood. Now this region is the food basket of Turkey where they can get three harvests every year.
