Today we spent the day touring Xanthos an ancient Lycian and Roman city. Each time we arrive at one of these ruins I think it can't be better than the last ruin. But each time I am surprised and amazed to see an even bigger and better ruin than the last one. The Turkish have not closed off the sites and you can wander about freely and climb all over the actual ruins and touch them. It's not like in Rome where you can't touch or hardly get near to the actual stones. But I have to say that out of respect we didn't just go wild climbing or abusing the sites. You can 't help but respect the ruins.After touring for several hours we found a nice picnic table over by the office. Geralynn spread out the table cloth and set out the picnic lunch. We had a nice lunch of fresh bread cheese, salami, olives, pickles and iced tea.
