Since I've been bringing back old blogs...
Having hung out in Ephesus, I realize this post still applies.
Ah, too many photographs, not enough space on my hard drive. I'm behind in documenting my life here, and I don't think I'll ever catch up, esp. with the Ephesus trip's details.
All friends are in town as scheduled, minus one, who seems to have a warped sense of time and distance in Turkey. She's booked a package deal and her hotel is in a town that's about 2 hours by car (which means about 3 hours by bus with all the transfers, etc).
I've been having a great time. Checking out antique bazaars in Izmir and Alaçati has been a beautiful (and dangerous!) experience. I just might end up keeping the stuff I got as presents for someone who I thought was hard to buy presents for until I saw the antique stands. It's challenging to be the kind of gift giver who gives of herself, who gives things to people that she thinks are beautiful…
I will spend today, again, watching the seagulls flying just above my head, splashing around in turquoise waters, and holding on to my bikini at the end of each dive from the side of a boat, swimming away from people, topless, and diving in for sea urchin shells and mother of pearl. $15 gets us: a boat that leaves at 10:30 am, which will take us to 4 inlets that we can't get to by car, feed us lunch (salad, pasta, and a pretty decent fish), and take our sun-kissed and exhausted bodies back to the harbor at 5:30 pm.
Like I said, too many images, not enough time or hard drive space.
