Tourist feelings about Garni

My name is Alvaro Moreno Garcia, and like other times I’m ready for a new interesting challenge. Today we’re going to visit the temple of Garni. I’m miles of kilometers from home, but I feel really comfortable because of the people I’m living with. I’m a tourist in Armenia.

Today we’ve visited the temple of Garni. It’s situated about half an hour from Yerevan, the capital of Armenia. The landscape is a mix of powerful nature and small Armenian shops and houses. People take the life very relaxed.

In outskirts of the temple, the landscape is amazing. It is enveloped in a gorgeous mountain system. Some marks on the rocks that seem like the pipes of an organ.

You can feel the freedom of this place. The spring weather in Armenia is really warm, and I love it. You can hear the steps of the tourist and the noise of the river.

Inside of the temple there was an Armenian man playing duduk, a kind of flute typical from here. In the middle of the temple you can find a hole. People throw coins into the hole to get their wishes come true, because it’s said to have powers.

We were sitting out there and a little child came to talk to us. He was really kind, as the rest of the Armenian people.

At the end of our trip to Garni we found some food and souvenirs shops, where we had the chance to taste a typical sponge cake from Armenia. It was the last bite before we continued to discover this wonderful country: next stop, Geghard.
