Turkey is humid. Ephesus is especially humid. Think Mt. Rushmore in the summer. Lots of tourists. You can't really move. This picture is the first I took of the day and it was early morning. Within 30 minutes the place was packed with people and it was impossible to move without bumping into someone.
I thought I was at Summerfest in Milwaukee, only without the spilt beer.
After spending 3 hours sweltering in the sun with no shade anywhere, you'd think that washing your face would do the trick. The funny thing is, it doesn't.
What really does the trick is washing your stinking feet. Especially if you've been wearing sandals without socks.
But even if you do wear socks with tennis shoes, the dust and sand gets everywhere and washing your feet actually cools you down and makes you feel clean. Even if you can't wash your body.
No matter what your beliefs, it helps a person understand the stories about how Jesus washing his disciples' feet in the Bible was not just humbling (think of the stink) but also cleansing and refreshing.
Sounds kinda like....a toothpaste commercial?!?
