Today we spent the day traveling to three archaeological sites, known in Turkey as the Ionic Triangle. This
included the Temple of Apollo at Didyma, and the cities of Miletus and Priene. We learned the
differences between the Roman and Greek theaters. We found some tortoises along the way. We also went shopping at a grocery store, MIGROS, so that we could have a romantic picnic lunch on the acropolis of Priene.

Afterwards the whole group experienced the Turkish bath and
massages. If we weren’t friends before, we
certainly are now.

Lastly, we want to wish our own Jessica (Doctor) Hassan a very Happy 20th Birthday! As you can see she looks relaxed after the Turkish oil massage.
