My disappointment with the alikaboks in Troy was erased by my excitement in Ephesus.
I could not believe how destruction could still look magnificent.

Collectively, we took thousands of photos. Every corner merits a shot or a pose.

Destroyed but still standing with dignity. This place looks more grandiose in actual.
If you’re going to Turkey, don’t miss Ephesus.

Buti na lang naimbento ang digital kung hindi magkaka-ubusan dito ng film.

I don’t like my pose. Nag-sa-sag na yung braso ko. I want to go back and take a better picture. Kailan kaya ako makabalik dito?  Baka naman napaka tagal pa eh by that time, hindi lang braso ko ang sagging, baka mukha na akong saging na bulok. Sige na nga okay na rin itong picture na ito.  Ang sama!

My God, this is so magnificent. Is there a better word to describe this? Splendiferous?
Nay, nice na lang.

Ganda-ganda, very nice.

Kahit giba-giba na, maganda pa rin.

Sabi ni Edmund mga tiga- Ifugao daw ang nag-rip-rap nito. Funny yan, Pinoy joke.

According to our tour guide, this used to be a public shopping mall.

One time napagalitan ako ni Edmund kasi kinukunan ko ba daw sya ng picture na nakatalikod sya. Syempre aaminin ko. Hindi pwedeng magsinungaling dahil may ebidensya.
Eto na naman, Baka mabugbog na ako.

At first, I couldn’t quite understand why tourists take photos of the cats. Then I saw my daughter taking pictures of the cats. O ngayon, ako na rin.

I asked the dog owner how old, name, what kind of dog. Naku, hindi kami magkaintindihan. Kung hindi ako marunong mag-English, lalo na sya.
Ephesus & Pamukkale 306

You can’t understand me ha? I said what kind of dog is that? Kind as in mabait ba dog mo?
Ephesus & Pamukkale 307

Kind nga, he didn’t bark at me.

The clouds disappeared kaya it became hotter. Edmund went to look for Oyen and Nyke, while I took cover from one of the columns. Mainit pag nasa araw, pero malamig pag nasa lilim.

The Hippodrome or grand theater could be seen on the background. It’s so grand, sayang,
I couldn’t capture its depth and grandeur with my Iphone camera.

This tourists were also at the Topkapi Palace and House of Virgin Mary. I saw them again. Madaling tandaan kasi yung damit nya.

    1. Hi,
      I bought it in Camp John Hay, Baguio, at the Res-Toe-Run store on the second floor of a two story commercial building.
      I forgot how much I paid for it, probably P1,600++.
