The day before yesterday we went to an archeological site called Ephesus!! It is the most preserved Roman site in the world! Everybody knows that Kelowna has 100 000 people, but this ancient city Ephesus had just over 200 000 people in it. Wow, that must have been big! Actually, the site was over a whole kilometre long.
We also went to the temple of Artemis. It is one of the seven great ancient wonders of the world. We have also visited two other of the great ancient wonders on the trip. The Parthenon and the site at Rhodes where the giant statue of Colossus once stood.
Yesterday we went to a beach!!!!!! I built a tunnel so I could go through it. It was very hard to go through one way, but easy to go the other way.
In Turkey there is this thing called the blue eye. When you have one and someone gives you the evil eye, it bounces back at them. I really wish I had one so my mother and father would stop looking at me in funny ways.
Bye for now, I hope your school year is going well.

Hey Mattias, Turkey sounds great. I'm glad you reminded me of the "Mal Ojo" blue eye. I got one when I was in Turkey and I am going to dig it out so when Craig and Angus give me the evil eye!!! I am protected. Hope Pamukale it super fun and warm. Love Aunty Julie
ReplyDeleteOK, it is a really cool perfectly camouflaged insect. Maybe a preying mantis? Can't tell from behind.
