Flag of Turkey Kusadasi, Turkey
Thursday, July 6, 2006

Alright sorry for the lack of entries and picture updates the last few days. I'm going to try and get caught up!

On Tuesday we were in Kusadasi, Turkey again. The destinations team from my office were going on a "site inspection". Essentially what that is, is they go to the locations of where the tours go and learn about them so they can sell the tours to the guests. I tagged along...we had a private car and our own tour guide, just for the four of us!

First we went to the Church of St. John. It is the church that St. John and Mary went to after Jesus died. St. John's tomb is actually there. It was really amazing that the ruins are still there. After that we went to Ephesus, which was a wealthy city 2000 years ago. We toured all throughout the houses that they lived in and the "downtown" area. I took way too many pictures. I won't post them all I promise!

That's way too cool... so you get to do designing on a boat travelling the world... and now you get to pre-scope out future tours for the guests?? Since when does this fall in the 'design' category, lol. Too fun.

So quite literally you have become The DaVinci Code. Way to track down Mary & St. John :o
Very cool.. not many people can say they have seen St. John's resting place.. although I will check out your pic.s & by proxy see everything you see.
