Take a tour through Izmir's Ephesus

I was working onboard cruise ships in 2007, and as a crew member I was allowed to take various tours with the guests. This particular tour brought me to Ephesus, a Turkish museum, the House of the Virgin Mary and a silk weaving factory. For lunch we had a buffet of Turkish foods, and a musician, playing his harp.

Mack on ships, you had to make due with the equipment and opportunities that you had. My ambitions were primarily focused on getting a new job off of ships, so that I could travel to some interesting places. What I didnt realize is that I was already doing that. Regardless, Always chasing the imaginary rainbow. Those were the days of the Sony PD-170, and MiniDV. "I loved that camera" said no videographer ever.
