The fourth almost live video from the Turkey trip is from Ephesus<\/strong>. I am on a 10-day trip, solo and using public transportation, that is, the kind I prefer. <\/p>\n\n

But on trips of this kind sometimes when you are on the ground you find that everything cannot go as budgeted and you have to be ready for both plan b and c.<\/p>\n\n

I had chosen Izmir, which used to be called Izmir<\/strong> (featured photo of the waterfront at sunset), as my base for visiting Ephesus and Pergamum. These are two important archaeological sites. <\/p>\n\n

But the 3-hour bus ride to the hotel from the station made me give up on Pergamum.<\/p>\n\n

On my maps<\/a> here is where I am and the route taken since my arrival in Turkey.<\/p>\n\n

More almost live video from the Turkey trip<\/h2>\n\n

The most famous monument in Ephesus is the incredible library, but it was also fun to run into a Zimbabwean choir singing in front of the grand theater. <\/p>\n\n

I wonder if the Hellenistic King Lysimachus, who had it built, would have ever imagined it.<\/p>\n\n

Here is the video from my you tube channel.<\/p>\n\n
