Chloeโs 8th Birthday โ Day 15
Overloaded with too much family time, I chose to take the day off and relax by reading books. I really needed some true vacation time during this three week trip! Everyone but me headed down to town to the museum, then Camille and I stayed behind while the rest went to Kusadsi and the beach.
St. Jean and Ephesus โ Day 14
Not enough sleep, too many ruins. My mom and dad went out in the morning to get groceries. Camille, Rob and I joined them when they went, literally across the street, to St. Jean’s, the “burial place” of St. John (not, as I mistakenly thought John the Baptist, but the other John). I cannot even
