Went to visit the Virgin Mary Shrine, and visited the house where Mary was reported to have lived. It was a very Holy place. Then we proceeded on to a place called "Ephesus" where this whole city was buried when there was a huge earthquake. This is the most awesome place, that it hard to believe unless you see it. I will have better photos later from the site. Another day of History lessons.

Hi all: Had a great day in Istanbul. Did the city tour of St. Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and then Topapi, the Harem and finally the Bazaar. Nobody should ,iss the Bazaar. There must be thousands of guys selling everything you could think of. Istanbul is a fabulos City, a very, very busy City. To come here is a lesson in History for sure. Now on to Kusadasi Turley next.
