With the temperature soaring in Yerevan, you have to be mad to stay in the city by choice. It’s simply too hot and anyone with any sense gets the hell out whenever they can. This weekend that’s precisely what Garo (aka Christian Garbis) at Notes from Hairenik had in mind and I’m grateful he invited me along. After he mentioned a few possible locations for a quick visit I said Mastara was the most interesting on the list.
I first visited the village in 1998 and loved it. It has such a nice feeling and the people are wonderful. So, we set out yesterday and after checking out the church, which in itself is quite rare in terms of design and therefore quite appealing, wandered the village as you can see from the photos I posted here, here, and here. Thanks especially to the dadik that gave me some of her homemade tan (yogurt drink).
