We had the tour bus drop us in Selchuk where we wandered. I got in a political discussion with a Kurdish carpet salesman and later we happened upon the Ephesus Museum, which had many of the busts collected from the ruins in Ephesus, such as this fine example.

"Wine" tasting at the hotel.

The tour group before the food arrived -- group meals tended to drag out, but quaint as it seems to sit on the floor, a two hour dinner on the floor was excruciating for a guy with bad knees.

Cookie saleswoman -- another case where we managed pretty well without speaking each others languages.

We broke free yet again to roam the ruins of St John's church while the group went to visit a mosque before our flight back to Istanbul.
