Yeghegnadzor

Armenia

Dear Friends and Neighbors around the World, 

In southern Armenia, I was determined to get a glimpse of Lake Sevan.   And maybe have a coffee on the shores.   I accomplished both goals, but in a surprising manner. 

I drove north from Yeghegnadzor, through the Yeghegis Valley and then through the Selim Mountains, over the Selim Pass (2410m – 7907 ft).  As I descended from the pass I got my first sighting of Lake Sevan.   In the distance the water seemed an unusual shade of light blue.
