Rubble and buildings from the centuries between early pre-Roman eras through the end of the Roman empire makes putting it back together again even more difficult.

The buildings and rubble go on for miles. This was a major city…… We had to take a bus to get from one end to the other.
Lady Jane, our SATNAV or GPS, got lost in the maze of local and tiny Aphrodisias roads……
It took the local kids and an adult (none of whom spoke a word of English) to sort out what Lady Jane could not.
A family on an outing just north of Aphrodisias…. One of many that we saw.
Bunny brought her new friend some small gifts. She reciprocated with gifts of her own. What a bond these two formed in such a short time… a grandmother’s connection. The whole experience in Aphrodisias was a gift.
A fantastic rug made by her sister. She said that she could not make this rug (it took 10 months to make it) because it was too difficult for her hands. She clearly wanted Bunny to have this rug. She was so pleased with her new friend having this treasure.
The treasure trove of “gimme-gotta-haves”, their makers, and their new friend. Ultimately, all 17 rugs (plus paintings and other vitally important stuff) that we simply had to have fit into our little Renault Clio (“Blackie”) which you can see on the right side of the photo.
Three generations of Bunny’s new friends. These folks were simply wonderful.
WE HAVE ARRIVED!!
