Today we went to Ephesus. First we visited the house of the Virgin Mary which has been turned into a small chapel. When we entered the foundation of the house of Mary we were given two candles to light and pray for someone who is dear to our heart. After, we went down to the Holy Springs. We were able to drink from one out of three fountains and could choose from Health, Wealth or Beauty. We continued on to a leather store where we were able to watch a fashion show of an assortment of their collection. Then we had time to shop around the store. Alma, Claire, Kelly, Carley, and Athena all bought an extremely cute wallet with pink, blue, and green polka dots on a white background. Subsequent to our shopping we stopped at a museum which prepared us for our visit to the ruins of Ephesus. At Ephesus we were able to see how their city was built and maintained. We also were able to see the beautiful statues and mosaics of this ancient city. Upon our arrival at the new hotel we were greeted by friendly (absolutely gorgeous) people. The dinner that we had was by far the best meal that any of us have had during the trip. We had an exciting dinner and a show as A.C. slipped and fell into the pool fully clothed! After this excitement we proceeded to relax and tomorrow we will embark on a cruise to the Grecian islands.

You sure seemed to be having the best time; sight seeing, shopping, and swimming in beautiful ancient places. We really wish we were there.
ReplyDeleteIf Athena decides to call us, and we would love to hear her voice, she can do so in Paso (she'll know).
Keep posting! Keep enjoying!
Thanks Marie and Claire for the post. I love Marie's new purse... I noticed it in the last picture. Happy Dad's day to all the Dads... Love you Marie... from Mom and Dad.
