5/20/2012 There were several nests throughout the town. I am going to put all of the nest photos in one blog post. This nest had two little white heads peeping up. Baby Storks! So cute. Everyone on the bus moved to the one side to be able to see this nest. "There are many more," said the tour guide.
The birds found nests throughout the city, on top of a variety of high places.
The storks are the messengers for the beginning of summer. This one is standing on an ancient ruin.
One story mentions that remaining parts of the aquaduct that ran through town provide high platforms that the storks love for nests. A closer look at these structures make me think that these are the aquaduct remains.
We all continued to move from one side of the bus to the other trying to see the birds. It was fun to see them.
This map is for reference and shows the location of Kusadasi, Turkey. Selcuk is in this general area.

We continued on our way through Selcuk and the surrounding area. This man was out for a walk and stopped to take a rest. Very nice wall, fields and flowers lining the pedestrian walkway.

Selcuk (Turkey) - City Scenes
5/20/2012
The tour bus continued the travels through Selcuk, Turkey on our way to the Ephesus Museum. This gave us an opportunity to see the normal every day street scenes. This sign was large and prominent by the entrance way to the old wall. I typed the works in to a translator, it appeared to be a message celebrating the national holiday celebrated the day before, on 5/19.
