Ephesus, Turkey

Jeanie's family in Ephesus, Turkey, during a November Mediterranean cruise. We started in Venice, stopping in Greece, Turkey and Croatia. The ruins in Ephesus were fantastic--here we all are standing in front of an ancient library, predating the time of Christ. This is where Paul would have traveled as well.
