We got back well from wild Svaneti, spent a few days in Tbilisi, did a wonderful excursion to the cave monasteries at David Gareja, and are now...
... back to Armenia!
No more khachapuris or khinkalis to eat, but tolma and khorovats. Instead of brick buildings, houses from red tuff stone to see. Instead of the Lari, the Dram to use.
I am just writing very quickly now, as my friend Arpine is going to pick us up soon here in the city of Sevan to drive to her house in Artanish on the north shore of the Sevan lake.
The two days we spent in the northern Armenian town of Alaverdi made us discover the two UNESCO-rated monasteries of Sanahin and Haghpat, a lovely host family, and the horribly looking fumes of a copper plant. More about this later...
We will soon return to Paris, but will continue feeding this blog from there. So: keep coming back to this blog, you continue to find articles, pictures, maps etc!
