March 23

March 23

This morning we enjoyed Nese’s complimentary Turkish breakfast outside in the courtyard at our guesthouse.  We had French bread, feta cheese, dried black olives, green olives, hardboiled eggs, Turkish black tea, and orange jam that was really more like candied orange rinds in a deliciously sugary syrup.
Headed off to the ruins of the ancient city of Ephesus where Paul worked and lived for a few years.  Very picturesque.  We took a lot of great photos.  Also witnessed a brutal cat fight just above some ruins.  Completely entangled at points in the tussle, I think they nearly rolled right down the hillside a couple times.  Leah threw some rocks at them to try to put an end to the battle but to no avail.  The cats here are fun to observe but also can be a little psychotic at times, and loud!  We also saw a small tortoise crawling in the grass during a bathroom break off the beaten path.  Leah picked it up and I got a good picture.  Today was a historical and an ecological extravaganza!
