Rhodes

Wow what a town! The whole downtown is enclosed by a wall and moat and its huge. It was built by the Knights in the middle ages in one of the many swaps of power. Greek - Roman -Christian- ottoman turk muslim-christian etc. Rhodes was a great center of trade from Egypt to the Black sea to Athens as well as a stop over for the Crusades  The city we were at yesterday Ephesus was long gone by then due to malaria  This afternoon we are going swimming. Right now we r in a cafe where Narain can get wifi but I cant grrrr
