Truth be told, Brian and I were not huge fans of Yerevan. However, once we got out of the city, we found many reasons to heart this southern bulwark of Christianity. Exhibit 1: Khor Virap. The birthplace of Christianity in Armenia, Khor Vimp is a picturesque monastery set high atop a hill with a breathtaking view of Mount Ararat.
Unfortunately, it was a hazy day and the view of Mt. Ararat was obscured...
Later that day we headed farther south for Noravank, a monastery set high in the rugged canyons of southern Armenia.
And what day of touring various houses of the lord would be complete without a visit to a winery for a little sampling of Jesus's beverage of choice?
