Take time to see what visually strikes you...this Medusa, for example, who from the roadway (and these roadways are still paved in the original Roman marble) looks like she is happy with her new perm instead of having snakes for hair...
and this lone column in the woods beyond...just a small portion of this site has been excavated...leaving one to speculate on what might be underneath...
But, then, it is back to the crowds..
and finding the bus (number 53 out of hundreds...but the folks from the travel agency were there to help)...
And back on the bus, there is a reminder: we are in Turkey (with the ever present Ataturk...who took that name meaning Father of the Turks after they won their war of independence); we are at Ephesus, a Biblical city (as in Paul's letter to the Ephesians who were, after all, the folks living here then); and we are having a fragment of an experience in Turkey which is, well, a great country.
