People are so friendly - Wawa was always an easy converstaion starter. I could really get lost in this city. I want to go back.

Ephesus : The most impressive ruin. Ever since I was a little girl I've always been fascinated by pillars. Ephesus has awe inspring pillars. Lots of them. Standing there centry after centry watching the world go by. Only if the pillars could talk :). Wawa had loads of fun running through the "pillar park".
