Jumping ships

<p>We're wrapping up the last night in Turkey, heading to Rhodes tomorrow. Over the last 24 hours, we spent about 14 on a bus, 3 waiting for Ephesus to open and walking around touring the partially restored city, and a few at the Marmaris beach. Right before we caught the bus, Nick and I ran over a few blocks to grab dinner. As we headed back, several others had started covering their mouths. Nicks eyes started to tear up. <br>
We had noticed several groups of police gathering in full armour with gas masks and shields thoughout the week. Of course we tried to get out of those areas but had not seen any escalades before.</p>
<p>Not knowing how serious of an issue the gas was, where it was coming from or why it was released- my heartbeat raced and we walked very fast back to the bus. </p>
<p>The city is so windy that later we saw others affected by the same issue blocks away.


Anyway, we are totally fine.. besides tired and sore from walking so much.
Today we got to see were John the apostle and Mary the mother of Jesus lived at the end of their lives. I stood where early Christians were baptized in the 6th and 7th centuries.
Excited to see Rhodes tomorrow morning!
