Okay... Sorry I've gotten a bit behind on my blogging! It's been a bit crazy over here at the JC with midterms this week! But they are over now so I'm going to attempt to catch up on the blog. here goes!
Day 5- May 22
We began our day by going to Ephesus! Oh man was that place amazing and we did not have nearly enough time there.
Ephesus is a key place in the New Testament and in Paul's journeys. There is even a picture at the end of the bible of Ephesus. A key part of Ephesus in ancient times was the Temple of Artemis and it became one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Nowadays Ephesus is in ruins but it is still beautiful and gives us great insights into the ancient world.

The afternoon was spent at Priene. Mainly I was really tired and fell asleep every time we sat down here. but we hiked up a hill to get here and the view was beautiful. and the ruins were fun!!! It had a unique feature to the city being that it had a rectangular amphitheater as opposed to a round one! Pretty unique.
