On the last weekend in July, we went for a little hike near Tsarkhadzor, a famous Armenian resort town that used to be a training ground for many Soviet athletes. We walked from Tsarkhadzor to the village of Makhavan, then to the peak of Mt. Tsma, then back to Tsarkhadzor. Makhavan village, the town of Hrazdan in the background, Mt.
