Gremi and Lagpdekhi

Another COLD but leisure morning was followed a visit to the local market for lunch supplies. Our journey today was only 90 KM with a stop to visit the fortress and church at Gremi. It was built in 1360 AD and was the seat of local government until the late 19th century. The frescos in the church were magnificent.

We stopped lunch at a hillside turnout overlooking the valley and then continued to Lagpdekhi were we will stay the on preparation for our border crossing into Azerbaijan in the morning. We are ten miles from the Russian border and four miles from the Azer border. Three languages are spoken in this village. Interesting!
