magic carpet ride

yesterday we were in ephesus.  some critters built a beautiful city around 300 BC.  A lot of it is still standing (including a 25,000 person amphitheatre, hospital, library, and some of the world's first running water toilets).  We had a guide named Dervish.

We had tea in two different carpet shops.  One of the shops was home to a Van cat.  A super rare cat that swims and has one blue eye and one yellow eye.  Ben used his 20 turkish lira to buy a cool diary that has the evil eye on it.  Currently we are trying to get him to write in it as part of creative writing class.  He is stalking around the room with writer's block .  Maybe time for breakfast.

Today's plan is: museum, beach, more tea and backgammon with carpet shop folks.
