June 17th - Library at Ephesus

I caught an overnight bus from Istanbul to Selck. First off - those busses are not designed for people my size. Second - they are terrible to sleep in.  On arrival I took a recovery day at my hostel. The owner was really nice and invited me to join for dinner and a swim at the family pool.

On the following day, after my recharge, I headed to the ancient city of Ephesus!!!  The highlights were the ancient library which was the third largest of the ancient world and the large theatre where St. Paul preached Christian doctrine. Overall it was an amazing place (but I'm becoming a bit of an ancient ruins snob and Ephesus was no Pompeii in Italy).
