Hi, folks! Your reporter Stanley here on the scene in western Turkey!! We are now in Selcuk, near Efes (Ephesus) on the Aegean Sea coast. I've been busy as usual with my adventures--defending a castle and becoming a Roman emperor. But first the Marmure Castle on the southern coast. Of course I had to do some exploration and watch for enemies.
I was the only guard on duty at a B I G castle so I had to be very alert. The castle is on the Mediterranean Sea (nice warm water!!) so I got to th8nking about swimming.
That was quite an adventure, but instead of guard, I thought I might be a Roman emperor. Seems like an easy job--just standing around like a statue.
When we drove through some of the new road tunnels, I thought I was an astronaut! Usually I can't stand up by the GPS, but the round people let me do it once if they held onto me. The ride gave me goosediscs!
When we were at Aspendos and looking at old carved rocks and a big Roman theater, I climbed up on stage and pretended to put on a show. Later I looked down below to where gladiators fought lions. : (
More goosediscs.
Yesterday was the first day of the school year here in Turkey. I see lots of kids going to or from school in their uniforms. I see a lot of signs in Turkish (after all we are in Turkey). I am writing a dictionary for you. I see signs that look like English; I'll have to ask my teacher if she wants me to spell in English or Turkish. I am learning both.
I have to go now. Just came back from swimming in the Aegean. Now I am going to make a boat for tomorrow. Best regards from Stanley!!
