Noravank Monastery in Amaghu Valley, Vayots Dzor Province, Armenia

A visit to the Noravank Monastery is a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of Yerevan. Visit early in the morning or late in the day and you may just be lucky enough to be able to explore the ancient chapels without crowds of people. #lifeatexpedia #armenia #caucasus

We started walking in the heat of the day, something I wouldn't advise to anybody. The sun was beating down on our heads. We stopped at the farm with the barking dog to talk to the man who doesn't speak. Luckily his wife does, and our guide had a conversation about the cows and goats. Butterflies littered the trail by the dozens, hardly caring we were there. We ate lunch under the shade of a tree by the river.

Somebody let the cows roam into the monastery at night and they made a mess of the open courtyard. The flies loved it but our guide took pictures and promised to put them on Facebook as a complaint. It was a perfect day in Armenia.

There was something of the old wild west of America about this little church. The flat facade, the mismatched stones propping up what seemed to be a false front. Inside a swarm of flies harkened decay, so I didn't proceed. Behind me along the trail was a fountain and a bench in the shade of tree where we ate lunch. Somebody had left a tea pot a spoon and an orange there. Even further behind me was the ruins of an ancient city complex whose walls were half hidden by the summer growth.
