We are here in Turkey on a 90-day visa, therefore decided to stay for most of it in order to fit in some travel around Turkey. High on our list to get to was the archeological site of Ephesus as we had heard from many others it was definitely worth seeing. There are other places along the Turkish coast that we will more than likely get to next season that are closer to Ephesus, but with extra ... Read Full Entry

Happy Post Thanksgiving... I really enjoyed all the pictures of the landscape. Gorgeous, the kind of beauty that is peaceful and calming. I always enjoy the sculptures, stone mosaics, and animals...but pretty sure I would be in trouble with the food. I know I have said it before, but you must have stomachs of iron that can take in and digest anything. I am like my four legged friends, ... change my diet and I am in trouble in about 8 hours. I particularly liked the picture of Bob following directions from you to stand next to the blocks,...looks like he is in time out. I am gaining degrees on bending my knee,...the issue is swelling. At night, it looks like my foot is attached to a 300 pound individual...puffy, stubby toes. Look ridiculous and feel weird too. I need to talk to the PT gal today and ask how I can reduce the swelling in the leg without sitting perched with my leg up on a hassock. Annoying, but maybe part of the process. I just don't remember all the swelling in the leg before. Wednesday I go for X-rays,...hope they aren't checking to see if my legs are straight,...they never were. So it sounds like you will be heading back to the states at some point? We had about 2" of snow last night, and would prefer wet over white, but it is what it is. Take care and stay well....let Bob out of time out. love ya, sending hugs,...cyndie
