Sunday, September 17
Yesterday we went to Hieropolis, and largely unecavated site inland. It was/is a sacred site because of the geothermal activity which has been pushing up lots of white calcium to the surface for thousands of years. We also went by the St John basilica in Selcuk, purportedly where John the baptist lectured and maybe even was buried. It is just some ruined walls fortified by the Ottomans many years later.
Early this morning we arrived in Greece on the island of Samos. Ah! lovely. More later this evening.

great job Amy. Amazingly, I just saw a special on Ephesus on a Bible geography show a week ago. It included the arena where your pic was taken.
Looks like a fantastic vacation. enjoy and be safe.

I can only imagine from your comment that you are struck by the beauty of Samos. I will have to check it out on the web. GMA has always wanted to revisit Greece. You are becoming an expert in your travels. M
