Day 5. Symphony of Stones and Sevan
Had breakfast:
Arrived at the Symphony of Stones:
Swallow nests:
If you go further and climb the mountain, there’s a cool temple there. But Anton didn’t want to go — it was too hot and he still hasn’t learned to enjoy walking. Here are February photos of the mountain with the temple and a view of the Symphony of Stones from above:
Our impressions:
Anton’s review:
Seriously though, it’s an interesting place. As someone from the plains, I’m impressed when standing next to such tall cliffs. It even makes me a bit dizzy.
When I’m in such places, I can’t help but think what impression this made on ancient people :-)
Then we moved on:
Checked into a nice place on Sevan. The room:
Went swimming:
Sevan is one of the biggest high-mountain lakes. The climate here is different from Yerevan. Haha, “different from.” When we arrived, it was over 30°C, and by evening below 20°C. The water is always cool.
We ordered Sevan trout — it lives only here. They cook it right on the table over hot stones, pouring something like wine on it.
Review of Sevan trout:
By Anton’s scale — that’s a very good review!
I was surprised that when Anton tried the first bite, he said, “Mmm, tasty!” But later he said, “Once you eat more, the taste becomes normal.”
Watched the sunset:
Funny and slightly gross algae:
Went to the city of Sevan — bought Anton some fake Crocs. On his left foot — summer trail sneakers we bought in Yerevan. I’m shocked Anton’s already size 44–45 😱 Everything here must run small!
Relaxing:
