Wow...Ephesus

Our next stop on the cruise was Turkey,

and we stopped at the port of Kudashi.

This is the location of the ancient city of

Ephesus. It was thrilling to think we

were walking where the apostle Paul

walked. These are some of the best preserved

ruins in this part of the world. The largest

building was the library, and it looks like

something from a movie set...awesome.

There were a couple of the mosaic floors

still intact, too. Our guide was very proud

of her heritage and enjoyed sharing her

knowledge with us. She encouraged us to

tell others about this archealogical site and

urge them to come and visit. We did sense

a real need everywhere for tourism dollars...

Getting Greek

Last year when I went to Paris, I did a postcard
ahead of time to take with me. It has all my
contact info on back, and advertises my printed
sketchbook that will be available after my trip.
I think this is the final design for one to take on
my upcoming trip to Greece. I will send it off
tomorrow so they can get it back to me by June
12th!

I am still getting some other things finished to
enter in shows. And working on the licensing
portfolio. busy, busy....

Greece is the Word

I am in the process of planning and recruiting for our

trip next summer. We are going to go to Greece! The

trip is 13 days, and begins in Athens. The tour includes

Delphi, the island of Corfu, the Meteora region, Rio,

and Nauplion. The price includes airfare, all hotels,

transportation, insurance, buffet breakfasts, several

other meals, a tour guide, and all entrance fees, etc. I will

be leaving with my group from New Orleans, and the cost

from there will be $3800.00 without insurance, and $4100.00

with the insurance. There is a $500 deposit, and then the

balance can be made in several payments or in one sum next

spring. The date of the tour will be June 13th.

If you have any other questions, or would like some more

information, please email me. I would love to have a large

group get to go. I will be sketching, painting, and taking lots

of photographs. Other artists will be traveling, too, but non-

art people are always welcome. (I usually have more non-artists

than artists...) I can send you a detailed itinerary, registration

information, etc. if you think you would like to make this

amazing journey.
