Ephesus - I can't say enough! This is why I wanted to go to Turkey! It was absolutely incredible!

Here is the coliseum we viewed upon entrance to the Ephesus site.
Upon leaving the coliseum, you walk through a "gateway" and
down towards the library of Celsus.
This is where the Romans did their shopping, along this walkway. Can you imagine jewelry, food, fabrics, probably music and live entertainment going on all at the same time. Probably similar to our shopping malls.
This was an early "billboard". Our tour guide was pointing out that this was a "woman of the night" advertising her services carved into the sidewalk. You could identify her by the fact that her 2nd toe was longer than her big toe.
Look at the beautiful carvings. An image of
one of the gods at that time.
This was the men's toilettes. The slaves would go in first and warm the toilet seats before the men entered.
I love the architecture. Such beautiful buildings!
This was a dream come true!
