Blessings from Lizzie Joy
You really captured nice moments and photographs… It’s been for a few years that I visited. There wasn’t any animation or theater in those days. I am glad to see it now. Thank you dear Lizzie, I hope you visited Şirince Village and also the House of Virgin Mary. Love, nia
Dear Nia, I did indeed visit the House of the Virgin Mary, but not the village. I will look out for that if and when I return. Blessings xx
Incredible – I would so love to be there, and for a moment, you brought me with you! I have a traveller’s heart, and a stay-at-home budget!
I know what you mean, and what a great way of putting it. I, too, have an adventurous soul, only limited by a lack of funds. But I am very grateful for the times I am able to travel. I am truly blessed. xx
I. too, count my travels as blessings. It is very liberating to be able to travel along with others, as they share their experiences! We have great access to all sorts of information that can revive our souls if we so chose!
Absolutely. God Bless us all. xx

Thanks Lizzie, again for everything.
My pleasure, Cristi. Blessings always.
I recognize the same group of actors from my visit to Ephesus 5 years ago. There is always high drama in Ephesus!!! And then there is that amazing apple tea….Thanks for reminding me of a wonderful trip.
It really was one of the highlights of my cruise holiday on the Celebrity Solstice. The port of call was Kusadasi, which is lovely, too. We visited the house of the Virgin Mary, also, in the mountains above Ephesus. I must dig out the photographs. Blessings
