Ephesus and Sirince

We found a cool hostel in Selcuk to stay at called Jimmy's, although they raved about their great heating and then purposely did not give us the remote to the strong heater and instead turned on a wimpy little radiator that failed to even noticeably heat the room after a full day. We befriended some fellow tourists from Utah (a grandma, aunt, and boy) who since obviously had more money than us, were getting the royal treatment. They used their remote to turn our heater on (take that Jimmy;) and then offered to drive us around to a bunch of ancient Roman sites in Pirene, Miletus, and Didymos. It was a long day, of seeing practically identical ruins, but it was cool nonetheless. Spent the next morning at Ephesus, supposedly the next best ruin to Pompei. Pretty sweet place, but I think we were pretty ruined out from the previous day:) In the afternoon, we went to a little village in the hills called Sirince which is known for their fruit wines that they make. We wandered around a bit and had some gozleme, a Turkish version of a crepe filled with veggies and cheese....it was delish. Also tried the Ephes Pilson beer, which wasn't bad either. We then wandered around and taste tested the various wines. They had everything including blackberry, pomegranate, kiwi, apple, peach, honeydew, cherry, blueberry, black mulberry and more. Wallked back to Selcuk and enjoyed the surrounding scenery...it's pretty green with lots of olive trees, stray dogs, and even some horses around.
