john, thanks for this very supplementary comment. As you might have guessed, I too was most impressed with the ancient theatre, even if the pool was probably more relaxing.
I actually visited the theatre three times, twice at night, and once during the day. It's such an amazing place to be, granted the day was extremely stiffling so that explains my preference for visiting at night.
I guess without commercializing the place some what, people just wouldn't know or come visit, and perhaps that wouldnt be good either. I'm all for it as long as you say it is tastefully done.
I'm glad you enjoyed the post john, looking forward to seeing you in the next one!
thanks, sssj - I really appreciate learning about these locales, and living vicariously through you LOL!!
