Ephesus, Turkey.

---

Arrived in Ephesus Turkey. First settlement before 400 bc. Mentioned in the Bible. Burial site of St. John the Baptist. Shrine to Mary. The Ephesus site has terrace houses where the Phenehians(?) lived in what I would describe as ancient townhouses, built on the side of a hill, they were stacked on top of one and other. Mosiac floors, the childrens rooms for example would have the design of a lion, the adult bedroom naked angels. All were remodeled to suit the tastes of the new residents, down the street was the Library of Celsus that contained an important tomb. A brothel was located between the terrace homes and the library. On to athens for 24 hours then heading home.
