Some photos from today ..,

Two new long blog posts to follow in the morning but here are some photos from today!

This shows you how large the city of Ani is from the background. This is an archaeologist from Armenia. He works on the Stone Age, speaks four languages. Had heart surgery this year and climbed all over the city with me. Prof. Felix Der Martirosyan

This is from the entrance to the city of Ani.

This is the mosque of Manuchehr.

This is the main Armenian cathedral.

This is what preservation/restoration looks like!

My colleagues on the restoration scaffolding.

This is cow dung. All over Ani!

Another medieval building outside of Ani.

Beers and conversation. The end of a long day!
