| Before our Dutch friends Sanne and Marieke joined us in Karabagh, Babett and I spent a couple of days in southern Armenia. We hiked through the fantastic rock formations just north of Goris, and we also visited a couple of monasteries in a great location. |
When the minibus driver stopped to fill up, we snapped this picture. 1200x900 01_Ararat.JPG |
As recently as 1940 some people were still using a few of the caves as homes. You can tell that even today some are used as garages, barns, etc. 1200x900 02_Caves_north_of_Goris.JPG |
