Today we traveled back in time to one of the most fascinating archaeological sites available to the modern day traveler. The beautifully restored ruins are so evocative, it was easy to imagine the days when Ephesus was the capitol of Asia Minor and was a huge commercial center. There was a marvelous library façade of Celius with massive towering columns. We climbed the steps to the top of the Great Theatre where St. Paul made his speech to the Ephesians. I was awe struck at the grandeur and exquisite beauty of these ruins – most were made of marble and I will just have to show you the photos so you can actually believe it.
