Can you guess where I am this weekend??

Wearing my FAVORITE Pink Pony sweatshirt that someone STOLE off my bag at Dulles airport. I am still mad!


(hint: that blue sky is FAKE!)




Click on this photo and it is definitely clear :)

I am 10 posts away from 600 posts! And 20 followers away from 500 followers. You know what that means!

Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey!

I know it has taken FOREVER for me to recap my cruise. I hope you have enjoyed seeing my travel photos! Next week I'll finish up with Athens (Greece) and Messina (Italy).

I loved Kusadasi. It is a gorgeous seaside/resort town. I also really enjoyed Ephesus, which is an ancient Greek city just outside of Kusadasi ("It was one of the twelve cities of the Ionian League during the Classical Greek period"-thanks Wikipedia!). One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, Temple of Artemis, is located here (though barely anything is still standing). There is so much history here!

Ephesus:

There is a lot of Christian/Catholic history (check out the Wikipedia if you are interested in reading about the connection to the apostles Paul and John-apparently they walked down this path?)

Of course I found my anchor(s):

Santorini!

I highly recommend clicking on the photos to see them bigger. Santorini is gorgeous!

If only I had a fancier camera to capture that amazing sunset!



Our ship!



Don't you want to live in that house/hotel with the pool? They have an amazing view!







Lastly, walking down the donkey path/stairs (to read that story again go here). My sister was walking begind me and took this candid photo. I bet you wish you could see the expression on my face as I walked in sandals on a steps filled with donkey poop ;)

The 2 Bandits

I saw these months ago but somehow the bookmark got lost in the shuffle (thankfully I reorganized ALL of my online bookmarks yesterday).

From the website:
"a pair of well crafted, adjustable fabric bands used to spruce up any pair of boots. an ingenious idea inspired by a love of music, style, and dancing".



Anchor:


They sold out of the elephant :(
