Mary's House

We visited what's reputed to be the house of Mary the mother of Jesus.  Seems the legend is that John brought her to Asia Minor after the death (and resurrection) of Jesus, and this is where she lived.

You can get out your magnifying glass and read all about it here.

There are all those knotted notes again.  This is a custom that I wasn't familiar with.

Aloe myrrh.

Of all the Turkish toilets I visited, this was the only one that was worth the price of admission.

What a view.  Almost nice enough to make you forget what you came for.

Another tourist trap.  Actually sipping tea in the shade was a nice way to pass the time while others shopped.
