We had a great fruit breakfast in the morning. After breakfast, a staff of Homerous drove us to a bank where we exchanged money, and then to the world renowned archaeological ruins of Ephesus. Ephesus (Efes) was one of the greatest Greek and Roman cities in the Classical era. It is a very popular attraction in this part of Turkey, thanks to its close proximity to the cruise port and airport in the resort town of Kusadasi. The magnificent facade of the Library of Celsus is pretty much the signature image of Classical ruins in Turkey. It was the time in the year where poppies blossomed allover the ruins. We split apart as we wandered the site. MC and I walked around the site, up to the temple and council areas, and then returned to the Library of Celsus where I sat down and make two sketches. At 17:00 we met up once again and headed to the main entrance where the staff of Homerous promised to pick us up.
