Vardzia looking up

This 12th century cave monastery is located 10 km. from the Turkish border. It was originally constructed as a fortified village. Queen Tamara, great granddaughter of David the Builder, turned it into a monastery. The climb (up, through and down) was very warm. It seems Georgia is having heat wave. The temperatures are closer to August temperatures than early June.

  1. That's cool. Reminds me of the cliff dwellings in the American Southwest that the Native Americans built.
