Drama Camp 2013 Video

Soooo here it is.... three months later:

Road Trip! (To Ephesus!)

We finally made it to Ephesus! It was really cool trip ☺

I thought I'd put together some of my best/most interesting photos. I think there are some other pictures on my Flickr page. http://www.flickr.com/photos/100719425@N07/

Our first morning in Selçuk was market day; and it just so happened that the market started right in front of our hotel. It was a great opportunity to practice my street photography skills. 

A street in Selçuk 

 Dad thought this guy was funny;  he's soldering a handle onto a pot between his knees.

 

 A man and two ladies sit at a little table on the street to eat breakfast.

 

I was almost run over by the karate kid on the bike. 

A vendor

On the second day of our stay we took a tour. The tour included the house of Mother Mary, Ephesus, and the Temple of Artemus.

As it turns out I didn't take a picture of the actual house....

The House of Mother Mary

 Statue of  Mary on the road to her house. Our guide told us that the statue is neither old, nor gold; if it was gold, it wouldn't still be there ;)

 The Wishing Wall

EPHESUS!

 Ephesus is seriously the city of cats, there were cats here and there and everywhere! 

Look at all the people! This is Ephesus on a slow day. 

Our guide

 

I can't remember what building this is.

 The library

 Out side the gates there were people selling genuine fake watches with a straight face.

 Here is a very poor picture of the largest theater in the world.

 Outside the theater.
 (I didn't realize that I uploaded the crooked photo until now. Oops)

Really old graffiti

 

Quotes from out Tour Guide:

"If you want to get on the bus, it's the white one." (That's him with the Blue umbrella)

"It's only three hundred years old."

"[talking about Ephesus's prison] It has a great view but no windows."

The Train Museum in Selçuk

Having a little fun. 

 Sam climbing into a train.

 Look we were here!

Happy Birthday to me!

Today I turned 15!
Yaaaaaay!
It was a really nice birthday, made nicer by all the sweet emails and comments. Love you guys!

So in the morning I ate breakfast (did a math test) and opened presents.

And then Dad and I went into town to buy cake. While we were buying the cake we spotted some stuff that looked like sliced pound cake. We were curious so we bought some of that too; it was really pretty, it had squares of chocolate cake and vanilla cake in the middle, with coconut on the outside. We ate it with ice cream for lunch. nom nom nom nom nom


And then in the afternoon we made a music video for the Lego Ninjago theme song. It already has a good music video, but that's not the point. ;)
Hope you enjoy it, it was cool making it.

Like the fake microphone? Johanna playing her sword? Sam playing the keyboard on the ironing board?
 Yeah we're pretty awesome. ;P

 We ate cake after supper.

IT WAS REALLY GOOD!
