| Last Saturday I went on a hike with my Armenian 8th graders and some of their friends. |
 |
| We started and ended in the village of Uraveli. Cave dwellings overlook the village. |
 |
| A Georgian tombstone. Armenians and Georgians often etch pictures of the grave's occupants on their tombstone. |
 |
| Nice place for a farm. |
 |
| First we visited the deserted village of Enteli. This church is the main ruin left. |
 |
| The Enteli Stoneman is a pagan idol worshiped an estimated nine centuries before Christ. |
 |
| A Turkish soldier's grave. |
 |
| Wild Mint |
 |
| Spooky |
 |
| Agara Monastery was built in the 10th century. The complex consists of many buildings, but only a friendly family of foxes calls it home now. |
 |
| Waterfall |
 |
| Our guide, a teacher at my school, discovered this church in the woods and received a medal for it decades ago. We lit some candles here and went on our way. |
 |
| Next we climbed up to the waterfall. This wasn't the safest thing I have ever done. |
 |
| It was worth it though. |
 |
| Spring is wildflower season in Georgia. |
 |
| I wasn't expecting this though... |
 |
| Piggies! |
