Trip to Turkey: Day 5

Lets start out by playing two truths and a lie.
1. I did a choreographed tap number on the stage in Ephesus.
2. I saw the Bachelor Pad couple waling around.
3. I participated in a reenactment of Acts 19 and had a six word line.

Stay tuned to figure it out!

Ephesus was absolutely amazing!  We walked through so many tuins and they haven't uncovered all of it.

Rockin Robin!

Throughout this trip a few girls and I have seen places that we think would be Bachelor date worthy places.  Several places just seem very romantic in that sense.  So we were walking through Ephesus and we saw a beautiful couple. They looked like this...

Yes, Tenley and Kiptyn! I couldn't believe that we saw them! They are beautiful!

We talked to them for a bit and they were so nice. They told us they wished they could meet all of us and were very kind. I was giddy for a bit after this. Well back to Ephesus. We went to the stage which is huge!

Clearly it was time for a photo shoot. 

It was a lot of fun. One of the highlights of the trip was being on the stage in Ephesus. Not only did I do my tap dance from Thoroughly Modern Milly (Leslie and I both knew it) but we also re-enacted Acts 19. I was part of the angry mob. My line was "Great is Diana of the Ephesians!" Too bad I messed it up. It was a really cool experience to act out the scriptures in the place where they occurred. It truly was amazing!

Later we headed to the Temple of Artemis. Apparently it is one of the 7 great wonders of the ancient world. This is what is left. 

I was a bit disappointed. Oh well. Next up: Miletus. This is an ancient ruin that is in the process of being uncovered. It was weird to walk through old stones with weeds all over them, rabid dogs, and knowing/seeing covered and uncovered ruins. On the bus we watched Robin Hood. It was great to have something to help pass the time. 

That night we played in a hot springs swimming pool at Pamukale. We gave ourselves a mud bath and it was delightful--although it didn't smell delightful. Interesting observation. Although this was a 5 star hotel and the lobby was beautiful the rooms weren't the best. The beds were still terrible and there were dark hairs found in the tub. I miss Marriott Hotels--they are always nice. A sign found in the bathroom. I think it is funny.

So in answer to the two truths and a lie. They were ALL truths! How tricky of me!
