Ráno jsme se probudili do ka&#382;dodenní ranní zimy (je&#353;t&#283; &#382;e jsem si - Dolda - vzal rukavice), pobalili a vyrazili zpátky na kopec Khor Virapu. Jeliko&#382; je to blízko k Jerevanu, u&#382; tam byla spousta turist&#367;. Asi nejzajímav&#283;j&#353;í na klá&#353;teru jinak typicky arménského vzhledu byla kobka, ve které byl n&#283;kolik let v&#283;zn&#283;n Gregor Iluminátor, který se pak zásadn&#283; zasadil o to, &#382;e Arménie jako první na sv ...

... to be fun about traveling in my twenties, even though hostels didn't really exist as such, but the novelty of the situation created the same dynamic, and I've been missing it. I don't necessarily like shared rooms (there's always one guy in the room coming in at 3am), but private rooms are usually available also. If I once thought I was too old for 'youth hostels', such concerns are misplaced. There are people older and straighter or ...

... and going, I seemed to be there during Communion, the music moving and different. I guess I stayed half an hour or so absorbing it all. Finding our way round no trouble, map in hand at all times. I then went on to the National Museum, a good couple of hours there, the Embroideries had to be seen to be believed, I loved just having the time to wander. I did some grocery shopping, (vodka and toilet paper ...

... into Armenian and held it up to an older gentleman while I looked confused and lost. It worked.). This town, about 30 minutes outside of Yerevan, is the center of the Armenian Orthodox/Catholic church. The main church, Mayr Tachar, is surrounded by the monks' cells. Outside the church is a monument recognizing Pope John Paul II's visit, and there is also an archway from the 4th century.

... find any taxi for some time and when I finally flag him (1800AMD), he's driving terribly slow and I have just 15 minutes left to enjoy the monastery. It's situated down at the end of a steep craggy valley. It's two large chapels are carved into the rock from the most part and are nicely decorated with stone carvings. The light &amp; darkness, candles, grey stone, strange symbols... cool Indiana Jones atmosphere again. The driver than takes me back and throws me out on some street with ...

... fought bitterly, with hundreds of thousands dead and mined and fortified borders. In Yerevan, churches are hidden behind large Soviet apartment buildings. Many others were destroyed, as poignantly shown at Katoghike. The old church was dashed with Soviet bullet wounds and the basilica that surrounded it was destroyed during revolutionary urban renewal times. In small Katoghike, I lit a few candles and the church lady gave me a bag of apples, insisting. Outside ...

John and Anita next say good bye to the beaches of the Mediterranean, and head towards Anita's spiritual homeland of Armenia. After mostly sleeping through a relatively comfortable overnight ferry from Santorini to Athens, our duo make their way to the airport (successfully this time), and onto an Armavia Airlines flight to Yerevan. With possibly a bit of foreshadowing of the adventure to come, while waiting for the plain in the gate area, an ...
