From Goris back to Yerevan

Carahunge is a prehistoric archaeological site. It is also called Zorats Karer, literally translated as Army Stones.
It was an observatory, dated to the sixth millennium BC.

Noravank is located in a narrow gorge, known for its tall, sheer, brick-red cliffs, directly across from the monastery.

The oldest shoe in the world (5500-year-old) was found in the cave close to this place. We saw on the first day in the museum.

 

 Short stop in Areni to taste the local wines

Then in Khor Virap, close to Turkish and Azeri borders.

I missed the black storks in Troyes this year, but here are a few white and black ones, who seem to love this part of the country.
