Posted: Sat Jan 08, 2011 11:25 pmI did go to E
I did visit Ephesus as well as Istanbal, Thermal, Capadosia, and Pergomam (spelling). It was a fast moving self directed trip. The Turkish people I met were super helpful and friendly. One guy I stopped on the street for directions actually walked me three block to the hotel I was trying to find.
One of the highlights was visiting the theater where Paul's friends were dragged before the mob and reading the story right where it happened. I also covertly entered the ruins of St John's church where legend says John is buried under the former alter. The The temple of Artemis in Ephesus is just a ruin now, but it was a very large structure in it's day.
The rock houses of Cappadocia were amazing too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cappadocia
