Today we docked in Kusadasi and headed over to Ephesus to see the Basilica of St. John, and to tour the Ephesus Museum. We also stopped into a mosque, and then went to see how Turkish rugs are made. The rug part was interesting until they put the hard sell on us. D and I bailed on that shit, and found a cute little restaurant for lunch. We had kebabs, which were delish. After lunch, we walked around until it was time to board the ship. I bought a necklace and scarf as my souvenirs.

Pic time!

There are so many cats (and dogs too) wandering the streets here. I knew about this, but it’s crazy to actually see it. They’re everywhere! Of course I stop to talk to them and offer pets. They are all really sweet, but it makes me sad that they don’t have loving homes.

And here is a random pic of me just because I like it.

This was a fabulous day. I’m so grateful.
