Mt. Ararat

We took a day trip with my parents to see the country side and Mt. Ararat. It took about 2 1/2 hours to get there. It was a beautiful day and very clear to see the peak of the mountain.


A small village with a view of Mt. Ararat in the background. These small little villages are a common site along the way.


My parents in front of Mt. Ararat:


We stopped for lunch and this man spotted the foreigners right away. He was a very sweet man and quite the character. He had a tourism business and claimed that he had a piece of wood from the ark that was about 6000 years old, if we wanted to come with him to see it. :) We didn't take the time to find out, but enjoyed talking with him.


Urban was a trooper on this trip. This is probably the 3rd time in his life that he has been in his car seat for a road trip. We don't have our own car, so this is not a familiar way to travel for him. He did really well up until the last 20 minutes of the trip and then he made it clear he had had enough!

It was a fun to get out of the city for the day.
