Description
I did not want to go on either of Holland American�s cruises in the Mediterranean. However, Grandma wanted to have a visit at Ephesus. Thus the four of us went on the western Mediterranean leg. It was in every way wonderful. There was no place we went that I did not enjoy immensely from Rome to Messina. Ephesus was exceptional. Unlike Olympia Ephesus had a structure that I could feel and see. Most of all it had enough remaining parts of buildings from toilets to a grand library to an amphitheater to begin to envision the place. It held 25,000 people which was ten percent of the �citizens�. This is the famous site of Paul�s preaching to the citizens of Ephesus. Ephesus was huge. Our guide said only 25% of the site had been dug out of centuries of alluvial cover. This was a big town. As the tour proceeded down the uneven stone road through the center we came to a commercial section. This photograph depicts a mosaic sidewalk advertisement for a local establishment � a house of prostitution.
